2019 is characterised by the waning sextile of Saturn and Neptune. (Jan 31st, June 18th and Nov 9th). Sea changes of faith, science and government. Jupiter forms a waning mutable square with Neptune. (Jan 13th, June 16th, Sept 21st). Popular movements, confused affiliations. Pluto is conjunct the lunar descending node, March 28th. Fall from power. 02.22 Mars enters Aries joining Uranus in this sign, initiating a 'shotgun start' to the new year. Mars has a full itinerary whilst in Aries for 45 days. He is square Mercury on Jan 8th, mind and muscle is disharmony, fire trines Venus on Jan 18th, heart and mind in sync, square Saturn on Jan 21st, being restricted, trine Jupiter on Jan 25th, being encouraged, square Pluto on Feb 2nd, damaging, sextile Mercury on Feb 8th, being instructed and conjunct Uranus, the climax of the residence, on Feb 13th at 29 degrees Aries, conjuring up red hot emotion and action. Mars leaves Aries for the sign of Taurus on Valentine's day, Feb 14th. Mars in Aries is a matter of 'shoot first talk later'. We are an ardent, impulsive, pugnacious and combative period. An assertive challenge rings out. Wild initiations. Lots of fun. Intense love/sex energy apparent today as the Moon is closely conjunct Venus in Scorpio. 03.11 The decelerating waning Moon at 14 Scorpio waning trine Neptune at 14 Pisces 03.47 Mercury at 24 Sagittarius waning bi-novile Neptune at 14 Pisces 08.24 The Sun at 11 Capricorn waning tri-decile Uranus at 29 Aries 15.19 The Moon at 21 Scorpio waning sextile Pluto at 21 Capricorn 20.18 Venus at 24 Scorpio waning tri-septile Uranus at 29 Aries 21:52 Close conjunction the Moon and Venus (0.46 degrees) 22.27 The Moon at 24 Scorpio conjunction Venus at 24 Scorpio, moon void

Full relisation of the seriousness of the situation is evident. The Sun is conjunct Saturn in Capricorn. A dissociate grand trine involving the Moon, her node and Mars is manifest 04:00 to 11:00 02.08 The decelerating Moon reaches her balsamic phase. The procession to the New Moon, and partial solar eclipse now begins in earnest. 04.16 The Moon at 28 Scorpio trines her node from north of the ecliptic. 05.50 The Sun conjunction Saturn at 12 Capricorn 06.21 The Moon at 29 Scorpio waning quincunx Uranus at 29 Aries 09.00 The Moon ingresses Sagittarius joining Mercury and Jupiter in this sign. An expansive day follows. New horizons open up. 10.42 The Moon at 1 Sagittarius waning trine Mars at 1 Aries 20.49 The Sun at 12 Capricorn waxing semi-sextile Jupiter at 12 Sagittarius

We are within 70 hours of a partial solar eclipse. Today is forthright, distracting, open. 08.24 The decelerating balsamic Moon conjunction Jupiter at 12 Sagittarius 12.01 The Moon at 14 Sagittarius waning square Neptune at 14 Pisces 14.27 Mars at 2 Aries waxing bi-novile Saturn at 12 Capricorn 15.58 Venus at 26 Scorpio waning tri-decile Neptune at 14 Pisces

China says it has successfully landed a robotic spacecraft on the far side of the Moon, the first ever such attempt and landing. At 10:26 Beijing time (02:26 GMT Jan 3rd 2019), the un-crewed Chang'e-4 probe touched down in the South Pole-Aitken Basin, state media said. It is carrying instruments to analyse the unexplored region's geology, as well to conduct biological experiments. The landing is being seen as a major milestone in space exploration. Transiting Uranus is currently opposite the China (1949 chart) Sun/Venus midpoint, inducing a technological wave of adoration and respect. The chinese progressed Sun in Sagittarius sextiled progressed Neptune in 2018, trines progressed Pluto in 2019 and is square progressed Saturn in 2020, all heavy weight influences in the current rapidly expanding evolution of this country. This event follows hot on the heels of Nasa's New Horizons spacecraft encountering the small, icy world known as Ultima Thule. A new picture returned from shows it to be two objects joined together, to give a look like a snowman. Transiting Jupiter is trine natal Uranus in the NASA chart(29/07/1958) and transiting Pluto has just been conjunct natal Venus in the New Horizons lift off chart (19/01/2006 2pm EST). Sunday's Partial Solar Eclipse is very close now. We are certainly experiencing intense space exploration and discovery at the start of this year, and wondering with some trepidation, what else is to follow. Judging by the nature of the Saros Series to which Sunday's eclipse belongs, we could be in line for testing events. Please see below. 05.14 Mercury at 29 Sagittarius waning trine Uranus at 29 Aries 06.59 Venus at 27 Scorpio waning semi-square Saturn at 12 Capricorn 16.11 The ancient Moon decelerating at 29 Sagittarius waning trine Uranus at 29 Aries 17.42 The Moon conjunction Mercury at 29 Sagittarius, moon void. 18.56 The Moon ingresses Capricorn joining the Sun, Saturn and Pluto in this sign. From this moment we are in 'eclipse mode'. The Moon has to encounter an occultation with Saturn tomorrow and then has a free ride to solar eclipse. The astrological vibe is now 'solidly serious'. 19.58 The Sun at 14 Capricorn waning sextile Neptune at 14 Pisces 21.11 Venus at 27 Scorpio waxing trine the lunar node at 27 Cancer

The day before a partial solar eclipse. A 'solidly serious' pre Capricorn-Eclipse day. No choice but to submit. 00.06 The decelerating slow ancient Moon at 3 Capricorn waning square Mars at 3 Aries. 03.41 Mercury ingresses Capricorn joining the Moon, the Sun, Saturn and Pluto in this sign. Mercury squares Mars on Jan 8th, conjunct Saturn on Jan 13th at 13 Capricorn, very sobering decisions being made at that time, sextile Neptune on Jan 14th, using a vast imagination, conjunct Pluto on Jan 18th at 21 Capricorn, with insight and relisation, and square Uranus on Jan 23rd at 29 Capricorn, with eccentric communications. Mercury in Capricorn is realistic, orthodox, traditional and pragmatic. This is a secure time to make plans and implement ideas. Mercury enters Aquarius on Jan 24th and is at Superior Conjunction with the Sun at 10 Aquarius on Jan 30th. 03.49 Mars at 3 Aries waxing quintile Pluto at 21 Capricorn 18.33 The Moon at 12 Capricorn conjunction Saturn at 12 Capricorn

01.29 Moment of NEW MOON (quintile Mars)

Times of the eclipse. Eclipse sequence starts 23:34:01.8 UT (Saturday) Moment of greatest eclipse 01:41:21.7 UT Eclipse ends 03:48:44.1 UT The eclipsed Sun is sextile Neptune and is within a degree of the Saturn/Pluto midpoint. Jupiter squares Neptune, Mercury squares Mars and trines Uranus. Saturn sextiles Neptune. There are six bodies in Capricorn. This is a reactionary, hard hitting, full bloodied event. The is sensation and illusion. There is anger and there is need. At the moment of maximum eclipse at London Uranus is setting and the Mars/Jupiter midpoint is conjunct the MC of London. The Sun and Moon rise over Mumbai and Delhi. Pluto rises at Hyderabad. Jupiter culminates at Manila. Uranus rises at wellington, Jupiter rises at Mecca and at Baghdad. Today's eclipse hits the Neptune and Node of the 1991 Russian chart. It hits the Venus of Germany, and of Kenya, the Saturn of Madagascar, the Sun of Rowan Atkinson, the Venus of Bjork, the Saturn of Prince Andrew, the Mercury of Phill collins and Keith Richards, the Uranus of the Miley Cyrus generation, the Neptune of the Ben Stokes generation and the Pluto of the Princess Charlotte generation. Today's eclipse is member 58 of the 70 eclipses which comprise Solar Saros 122. This saros started on April 17th in the year 991. The longest Total Eclipse in the series was in 1135, the longest Annular eclipse was in 1874. The series ends on May 17th 2235. The chart below is that of the maximum point in time of that first eclipse, set arbitrarily for London. I use this chart to judge the character of the whole saros series. The chart is a hot dry difficult map. There are no bodies in water signs. The eclipse in Taurus is square Uranus and Saturn in Aquarius. A fixed power pack of destruction. Mercury, dragon's tail and Jupiter are in Aries opposite Pluto in Libra. Losses of life. The opposition is eased only a tad, by Mars and Jupiter in 'cross fire hurricane' Sagittarius. The last eclipse in this series, Christmas Day 2000, had this entry in the Daze for that year. December 26th 2000. -- A Christmas Day blaze ripped through a shopping and commercial centre in central China, killing at least 309 people and raising fresh questions about building and safety standards in the country. CNN reports the fire started at 9:35 p.m. local time Monday. Some 750 police and fire-fighters rushed to the scene and within three hours had extinguished the blaze, the Luoyang Evening News said. The fire broke out in the cultural heart of Luoyang, an ancient city on the Yellow River in Henan province that was once China's capital. The astrological chart shows Jupiter on the MC square a Virgo ascendant, the fire started two hours before the partial eclipse. Two days before the 1982 eclipse witnessed the 'North Yemen Earthquake' which killed 2800 people. A day before that 30,000 women joined hands around the Greenham Common US airbase in England. Three days before the 1964 eclipse President LB Johnston agreed a two phase bombing plan of Vietnam. On the exact day of the 1946 eclipse (23/11/1946) the French Cruiser 'Suffren' opened fire killing 6000 Vietnamese. On the exact day of the 1946 eclipse (12/11/1928) the SS Vestris developed a fault and sank off Virginia, killing up to 127 people. Not a very friendly Saros this one. The advice must be 'gird your loins'. This is a heavy duty eclipse and is a member of a destructive saros. During the eclipse at 02.29 Venus at 29 Scorpio waning quincunx Uranus at 29 Aries After the eclipse.. 09.12 The Sun at 16 Capricorn waning bi-septile Uranus at 29 Aries 12.13 The Moon at 21 Capricorn conjunction Pluto at 21 Capricorn 14.52 Mercury at 2 Capricorn waning quintile Neptune at 14 Pisces 20.25 Venus at 29 Scorpio waning septile Pluto at 21 Capricorn

Uranus turned direct on Sunday at 20.28 GMT at 28 Aries. All the planets are now direct until March 5th. We are in a very progressive period. Time to push forward. A tight cardinal T square involving the Moon, her node and Uranus is manifest 02:00 to 04:00. Acute tension manifests, quickly passing. 01.13 The 'infant child' Moon slowly waxing at 27 Capricorn opposes her ascending node. 03.57 The Moon at 29 Capricorn waning square Uranus at 29 Aries 06.21 The Moon at 30 Capricorn waxing sextile Venus at 30 Scorpio, moon void 06.48 The Moon ingresses Aquarius. This ingress sets the scene for a measure of intelligence and foresight over the next couple of days. 11.20 Venus ingresses Sagittarius, joining Mercury and Jupiter in this sign. Venus resides in Sagittarius for a brief 27 days. Her residence here, this year, is favorable. She 'fire trines' Mars on Jan 18th, great for human relationships, squares Neptune on Jan 21st, the day of the Total Lunar Eclipse, confusing the day, conjuncts Jupiter at 16 Sagittarius the day after, offering vast opportunity for wonderment, and trines Uranus on Feb 2nd, injecting excitement. Venus enters Capricorn on Feb 3rd, conjuncts Saturn on Feb 18th and conjuncts Pluto on Feb 23rd. This brief period has an 'electric love' dimension to it. Venus in Sagittarius is essentially fun, freedom, adventurous affection. 15.42 The Moon at 4 Aquarius waning sextile Mars at 4 Aries State of the sky:- Today the Sun is at 18 degrees Capricorn. Mercury, Saturn and Pluto are also in Capricorn. Venus and Jupiter are in Sagittarius. There are 72 days to the Vernal Equinox. All the planets are now direct in motion. We are deeply immersed in an eclipse season. We are in 'potentially astrologically dangerous' times. A Partial Solar Eclipse at 15 Capricorn occurred yesterday, we are now in its wake, this is followed by a Total Lunar Eclipse, Super Blood Moon, at 1 Leo on Jan 21st 2019. Mercury, currently a morning star entered Capricorn on Jan 5th. Mercury squares Mars tomorrow, conjuncts Saturn on Jan 13th at 13 Capricorn, very sobering decisions being made at that time, sextile Neptune on Jan 14th, using a vast imagination, conjunct Pluto on Jan 18th at 21 Capricorn, with insight and relisation, and square Uranus on Jan 23rd at 29 Capricorn, with eccentric communications. Mercury in Capricorn is realistic, orthodox, traditional and pragmatic. This is a secure time to make plans and implement ideas. Mercury enters Aquarius on Jan 24th and is at Superior Conjunction with the Sun at 10 Aquarius on Jan 30th. Mercury next turns retrograde at 30 Pisces on March 5th 2019. Venus is now a direct morning star and enters Sagittarius today. See post above. Mars is in Aries. Mars has a full itinerary whilst in Aries. He fire trines Venus on Jan 18th, heart and mind in sync, square Saturn on Jan 21st, being restricted, trine Jupiter on Jan 25th, being encouraged, square Pluto on Feb 2nd, damaging, sextile Mercury on Feb 8th, being instructed and conjunct Uranus, the climax of the residence, on Feb 13th at 29 degrees Aries, conjuring up red hot emotion and action. Mars leaves Aries for the sign of Taurus on Valentine's day, Feb 14th. Mars in Aries is a matter of 'shoot first talk later'. We are an ardent, impulsive, pugnacious and combative period. An assertive challenge rings out. Wild initiations. Lots of fun. Jupiter is in Sagittarius. This is a visionary time. The motivation here is a need to move, to grow, to seek freedom, to expand and to 'open up'. Optimism, energy, forthrightness, faith in the future and expression of adventure are the hallmarks of the residence. Jupiter makes a waning square to Neptune, Jan 13th 2019, June 16th 2019 and Sept 21st 2019. This is the only major aspect of the residence and suggests a 'delusional unreal glamorous accompaniment' to this essentially jovial component of the nature of the skies in the year ahead. With Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, Jupiter in Sagittarius adds wit and wonderment before the inevitable astrological maelstrom of 2020 when he joins the two heavy weights in the sign of the goat. Jupiter is all the time moving towards the 2020 union with Saturn and Pluto in the last decan of Capricorn. Jupiter then moves on to conjunct Neptune at 24 degrees Pisces in 2022. The Grand Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurs on the Winter Solstice 2020. This will be a 'mutation conjunction'. It is the first of an unbroken series of Jupiter Saturn conjunctions in Air signs which extend till around 2140. Since 1840 all the Jupiter Saturn conjunctions have been in Earth signs, with the exception of the 1980-1981 triple conjunction. Saturn is direct in Capricorn. The energy of Saturn in this sign is dense, practical, realistic, industrious on a huge scale, formative, establishing and sustaining. Saturn was last in Capricorn between 1988 and 1991. During the residence Saturn will sextile Neptune in Pisces three times during 2019, 31st Jan, 18th June and Nov 9th. All world religions may face serious issues of faith, science and political change during these times. Saturn will conjunct the dragon's tail (lunar descending node) in 2019 demanding a karmic debt be paid. The most important aspect however is Saturn conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. The are warlike connotations with this symbolism, this is a danger zone. The last time these two astrological heavy weights meet in Capricorn was in 1518, and before that in 1248. We are dealing here with 'forces majeure'. Saturn remains in Capricorn till Feb 17th 2020. Uranus is now direct and revisiting Aries. Uranus is spending 150 days concluding his un-finished business in Aries before re-entering Taurus on April 6th. He will then reside in Taurus until July 2025. Neptune is now direct in Pisces he has been in this sign since 2011. Neptune in Pisces is symbolic of the greatest watery immersion in the deepest subliminal and spiritual ocean. Neptune is in its own sign of Pisces, a transit that only occurs every 165 years. Neptune rules Pisces and also rules the deepest realms of the subconscious mind. The oceanic vibration of love is flowing with a deeper and higher frequency. Our human mission is to flow with it. Art, music and science are enhanced with the progress of this residence. The blue hair we see these days is very Neptune in Pisces. Neptune will turn retrograde at 19 degrees Pisces on June 21 2019. Neptune enters Aries on March 30th 2025. Pluto is now direct in Capricorn at 21 degrees of that sign. 10 degrees now separate Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. Saturn is conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. This is the 'serious zone'. The following astrological heavyweight event, later on in 2020, is the 'Grand Conjunction' of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurring on the Winter Solstice of that year, beckoning to a healthier 'New Age Feeling' just a little way beyond. Pluto enters Aquarius on March 23rd 2023. The next eclipse as mentioned above is a Total Lunar Eclipse at 1 Leo on Jan 21st 2019 (as Venus is conjunct Jupiter in Sagittarius). The following eclipse is a Total Solar Eclipse (passing through South America) on July 2nd 2019 at 11 Cancer.

Mind and muscle may be out of phase with each other today resulting in poor hand-eye coordination. We are deep in an eclipse season, changes are afoot. There are 13 days to a Total lunar Eclipse. Venus is 13 degrees from Jupiter in Sagittarius. Dizzying possibilities are starting to emerge. Wait and see. 09.44 The very slowly waxing young Moon at 13 Aquarius sextiles Jupiter at 13 Sagittarius 10.06 Mercury at 5 Capricorn waning square Mars at 5 Aries 19.55 Venus at 1 Sagittarius waning bi-septile Neptune at 14 Pisces

The Sun is applying to Pluto in Capricorn. Stages are set. Change is underway. No going back. Detachment and individuality rule the day. 04.27 The young Moon in Aquarius is at apogee (conjunct Black Moon Lilith), slowest and furthest from the Earth all month. 16.54 The Moon at 29 Aquarius waning sextile Uranus at 29 Aries, moon void 19.22 Venus at 2 Sagittarius waning novile Saturn at 12 Capricorn 19.45 The Moon ingresses Pisces joining Neptune in this sign. The Mood deepens. 21.34 Jupiter at 14 Sagittarius waning sesuiquadrate Uranus at 29 Aries This is the first of three. They symbolise a review of 'what went well'. The 14 year long cycle of Jupiter and Uranus is the cool one, it represents growth and inspiration, my favorite. The current cycle started in 2010 in Pisces and ends in 5 years time in Taurus. The dates of this aspect are Jan 9th, June 6th and Oct 14th 2019. Let's do it again, even better.

The Sun is almost conjunct Pluto in Capricorn, Venus is 11 degrees from Jupiter in Sagittarius, we are in the deepest depths of an eclipse season, 11 days from a blistering Total Lunar Eclipse, a super blood moon. It all adds up to to a bewildering mixture of imminent transformation and resplendent frivolity. The next two days are especially meaningful. We are at our most impressionable with a crescent 'stage struck' piscean Moon . In the UK, parliament and people are in ferment. In the USA, we have a president in ferment, taking the entire population hostage. We are indeed living through strange days . 01.10 The very slowly waxing Moon slowly accelerating at 3 Pisces waxing square Venus at 3 Sagittarius 05.12 The Moon reaches her waxing crescent phase 05.38 The Sun at 20 Capricorn waxing decile Jupiter at 14 Sagittarius 12.16 The Moon at 8 Pisces waxing sextile Mercury at 8 Capricorn 21.13 The Moon at 13 Pisces waxing sextile Saturn at 13 Capricorn 23.49 The Moon at 14 Pisces waxing square Jupiter at 14 Sagittarius

This day witnesses a continuation of the deep 'fathomless' atmosphere of yesterday. The force for irrevocable change which has been building up all week reaches a peak as the Sun is conjunct Pluto in Capricorn. The crescent Moon complements the experience. We then enter a 'rudderless' period from 14:25 GMT. Restless drift ensues, going nowhere. Be wary. 00.48 The slowly accelerating waxing crescent Moon conjunction Neptune at 14 Pisces 11.39 The Sun conjunction Pluto at 21 Capricorn 14.12 The Moon at 21 Pisces waxing sextile Pluto at 21 Capricorn 14.25 The Moon at 21 Pisces waxing sextile The Sun at 21 Capricorn, moon void. The Moon is void for 18 hours. 21.39 Venus at 5 Sagittarius waning biquintile Uranus at 29 Aries

The day starts with a drifting 'rudderless' void Moon in Pisces. 02.17 This waxing crescent Moon, accelerating at 27 Pisces, trines her node at 27 Cancer from south of the ecliptic. 02.52 Mercury at 11 Capricorn waning tri-decile Uranus at 29 Aries 08.19 The Moon ingresses Aries joining Mars and Uranus in this sign and adding a 'head rush' of impetus and urgency into the current cosmic cauldron. The Moon will now apply to these two firebrands over the next couple of days forcing events and experiences to fruition. Last Sunday's Partial Solar Eclipse has not, as yet, 'brought forth' the severity of events which other eclipses in its saros have done. That is good news, but these next couple of days are laced with fiery emotion and have the potential for rash acts and sudden eruptions. As the day progresses Mercury applies in conjunction to Saturn. This is a sobering vibration. Certain serious thought forms are bound to manifest. 13.54 Mercury at 11 Capricorn waxing decile Venus at 5 Sagittarius 19.20 The Moon at 6 Aries waxing trine Venus at 6 Sagittarius

00.12 The Moon conjunction Mars at 8 Aries 05.19 Venus at 6 Sagittarius waning semi-square Pluto at 21 Capricorn 09.06 The Moon at 13 Aries waxing square Mercury at 13 Capricorn 09.37 The Moon at 13 Aries waxing square Saturn at 13 Capricorn 10.45 The Sun at 23 Capricorn waning septile Neptune at 14 Pisces 12.31 The Moon at 14 Aries waxing trine Jupiter at 14 Sagittarius 13.32 Mercury conjunction Saturn at 13 Capricorn 18.59 Jupiter at 14 Sagittarius waning square Neptune at 14 Pisces. Jupiter makes a waning square to Neptune, Jan 13th 2019, June 16th 2019 and Sept 21st 2019. This is one of the major aspects of the year 2019 and suggests a 'delusional unreal glamorous accompaniment' to the essentially jovial nature of Jupiter in Sagittarius in the year ahead.

Mercury today 'interfaces' with the current Jupiter Neptune tight square. Much to think about, talk about and make clear. 01.29 The Moon gaining in light and motion at 21 Aries waxing square Pluto at 21 Capricorn 01.57 Venus at 7 Sagittarius waning decile Saturn at 13 Capricorn 06.46 The Moon is at First Quarter 12.35 The Moon at 27 Aries waning square her node from south of the ecliptic. 13.14 Mercury at 14 Capricorn waning sextile Neptune at 14 Pisces 15.30 Mercury at 15 Capricorn waxing semi-sextile Jupiter at 15 Sagittarius 15.56 The Moon conjunction Uranus at 29 Aries, moon void. 18.33 The Moon ingresses Taurus. State of the sky:- Today the Sun is at 24 degrees Capricorn. Mercury, Saturn and Pluto are also in Capricorn. Venus and Jupiter are in Sagittarius. As today starts the Moon, Mars and Uranus are in Aries. There are 66 days to the Vernal Equinox. The Sun enters Aquarius on Sunday. All the planets are direct in motion. We are deeply immersed in an eclipse season. We are in 'potentially astrologically dangerous' times. A Partial Solar Eclipse at 15 Capricorn occurred 8 days ago, we are still in its wake, this is followed by a Total Lunar Eclipse, Super Blood Moon, at 1 Leo on Jan 21st 2019. The week ahead sees two astrological themes taking place, a powerful build up to the Total Lunar Eclipse and the resplendent conjunction of Venus and Jupiter. A fateful week is in store. Mercury, currently a morning star entered Capricorn on Jan 5th. Mercury sextiles Neptune today, is conjunct Pluto on Jan 18th at 21 Capricorn, with insight and relisation, and square Uranus on Jan 23rd at 29 Capricorn, with eccentric communications. Mercury in Capricorn is realistic, orthodox, traditional and pragmatic. This is a secure time to make plans and implement ideas. Mercury enters Aquarius on Jan 24th and is at Superior Conjunction with the Sun at 10 Aquarius on Jan 30th. Mercury next turns retrograde at 30 Pisces on March 5th 2019. Venus is now a direct morning star in Sagittarius. Her residence here, this year, is favorable. She 'fire trines' Mars on Jan 18th, great for human relationships, squares Neptune on Jan 21st, the day of the Total Lunar Eclipse, confusing the day, conjuncts Jupiter at 16 Sagittarius the day after, offering vast opportunity for wonderment, and trines Uranus on Feb 2nd, injecting excitement. Venus enters Capricorn on Feb 3rd, conjuncts Saturn on Feb 18th and conjuncts Pluto on Feb 23rd. This brief period has an 'electric love' dimension to it.

Mars leaves Aries for the sign of Taurus on Valentine's day, Feb 14th. Mars in Aries is a matter of 'shoot first talk later'. We are an ardent, impulsive, pugnacious and combative period.

During the residence Saturn will sextile Neptune in Pisces three times during 2019, 31st Jan, 18th June and Nov 9th. All world religions may face serious issues of faith, science and political change during these times. Saturn will conjunct the dragon's tail (lunar descending node) in 2019 demanding a karmic debt be paid. The most important aspect however is Saturn conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. The are warlike connotations with this symbolism, this is a danger zone. The last time these two astrological heavy weights meet in Capricorn was in 1518, and before that in 1248.

Pluto is now direct in Capricorn at 21 degrees of that sign. Just over 8 degrees now separate Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. Saturn is conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. This is the 'serious zone'. The following astrological heavyweight event, later on in 2020, is the 'Grand Conjunction' of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurring on the Winter Solstice of that year, beckoning to a healthier 'New Age Feeling' just a little way beyond. Pluto enters Aquarius on March 23rd 2023. The next eclipse as mentioned above is a Total Lunar Eclipse at 1 Leo on Jan 21st 2019 (as Venus is conjunct Jupiter in Sagittarius). The following eclipse is a Total Solar Eclipse (passing through South America) on July 2nd 2019 at 11 Cancer.

A steadfast day. No give. Entrenchment. Resolution. The 'meaningful vote'. The 'Wolf Blood Super Moon', the Total Lunar Eclipse, now just six days away, directly hits the natal UK 10th house retrograde Jupiter. We in the UK can successfully backtrack. The world will watch the antics in Westminster today, with bemusement no doubt. The dominant 'number one' transit on the UK chart right now is transiting Neptune square the UK Sun/Neptune midpoint. Ebertin relates this midpoint with 'plans without the power to carry them through'. Neptune there possibly throws the situation into uncertainty. Theresa May has transiting Pluto conjunct her Mars/Saturn midpoint before month's end and transiting Saturn sextile her Mars at the weekend. It looks rather brutal to say the least. Jeremy Corbyn is currently subject to Jupiter transits. Transiting Jupiter opposes his natal Venus and natal Mercury over the next 10 days. Of course Neptune and Jupiter are in square aspect anyway at the moment. This adds a certain power and importance to the time. He seizes his moment but he must be careful. His action could be flawed with misjudgment. There could be sensation at work here. 02.42 The Sun at 25 Capricorn waxing novile Jupiter at 15 Sagittarius 10.06 The accelerating post first quarter Moon at 8 Taurus waxing quincunx Venus at 8 Sagittarius 10.14 Mercury at 16 Capricorn waning bi-septile Uranus at 29 Aries Minor grazing lunar occultation of star Mu Cetus observable from UK around 17:04 to 17:13 18.51 The Moon at 13 Taurus waxing trine Saturn at 13 Capricorn 21.15 The Moon at 14 Taurus waxing sextile Neptune at 14 Pisces 21.55 The Moon at 15 Taurus waxing quincunx Jupiter at 15 Sagittarius

We are now in a difficult five day period of accelerated change and development as the Sun applies in square aspect to Uranus. Today however a favorably aspected waxing and accelerating Moon in Taurus offers some comfort and support up to 18.34 GMT. Certainly this is a time to push forward. 01.30 The Moon at 17 Taurus waxing trine Mercury at 17 Capricorn 09.18 The Moon at 21 Taurus waxing trine Pluto at 21 Capricorn 18.34 The Moon at 26 Taurus waxing trine The Sun at 26 Capricorn. The Moon is then void of course for 6.5 hours. 19.16 The Moon at 27 Taurus waning sextiles her node from south of the ecliptic.

Lunar tensions are rising. Venus is making a majestic approach to Jupiter. Light and laughter can be discerned. 01.02 The Moon, gaining in light and motion, ingresses Gemini. Diversification and variation are to the fore now. Restless multiplicity. 03.30 The Sun at 27 Capricorn opposition the lunar node at 27 Cancer The central point marker of the current eclipse season. 14.52 Mars at 11 Aries waxing bi-novile Pluto at 21 Capricorn 18.24 Jupiter at 15 Sagittarius waning decile Pluto at 21 Capricorn 19.54 The Moon at 11 Gemini opposition Venus at 11 Sagittarius 20.33 The Moon at 11 Gemini waxing sextile Mars at 11 Aries 22.36 The Moon reaches her waxing gibbous phase. The procession to the Total Lunar Eclipse now less than 100 hours away, begins in earnest. Fasten your cosmic seat belts.

A mixed and complex day. Venus and Mars are in harmony inducing an interesting day for human romantic relationships. However lunar pressures and tensions abound and are rising, rendering a potentially nervy and anxious time. The Sun is applying in square aspect to Uranus inviting drastic change. Mercury is conjunct Pluto evoking depth of thought. Deep seated issues are revealed. We are very close to a Total Lunar Eclipse. These are exceptional days. 00.03 The waxing gibbous Moon at 13 Gemini quincunx Saturn at 13 Capricorn 00.56 Venus at 11 Sagittarius waning novile Pluto at 21 Capricorn A mutable T-square involving the Moon, Jupiter and Neptune is manifest 01:00 to 03:30 01.57 The Moon at 15 Gemini waxing square Neptune at 14 Pisces 03.11 The Moon at 15 Gemini opposition Jupiter at 15 Sagittarius 12.20 The Moon at 21 Gemini waxing quincunx Mercury at 21 Capricorn 13.10 The Moon at 21 Gemini waxing quincunx Pluto at 21 Capricorn 16.50 Venus at 12 Sagittarius waning trine Mars at 12 Aries 20.04 Mercury at 21 Capricorn conjunction Pluto at 21 Capricorn 22.57 Mercury at 21 Capricorn waxing decile Jupiter at 15 Sagittarius

Today is the last full day of the astrological month of Capricorn and sky high emotions will now rule the roost as the almost Full Moon tumbles into Cancer. We continue in this relentless build up to the Total Lunar Eclipse. If any one is interested, transiting Saturn is currently conjunct the ascendant of Prince Philip (assuming accurate birthtime), and it is certainly opposite his natal Mercury. Lessons learnt. 01.31 The Sun at 29 Capricorn waning square Uranus at 29 Aries 01.33 The Moon at 29 Gemini waxing sextile Uranus at 29 Aries, moon void 01.33 The Moon at 29 Gemini waxing quincunx The Sun at 29 Capricorn 03.45 The Moon ingresses Cancer 16.16 Mercury at 23 Capricorn waning bi-novile Mars at 13 Aries 22.26 The Sun at 30 Capricorn waning semi-square Neptune at 15 Pisces

The day before the Total Lunar Eclipse. Venus and Jupiter are almost conjunct, and grace the morning pre-dawn sky. There is wonderment amid the intensity of the time. Mexican authorities have put the number killed in a fuel pipeline blast on Friday night at 66, with scores more injured. It is believed the explosion occurred after the line was ruptured by suspected fuel thieves in the town of Tlahuelilpan, in Hidalgo state. Officials say scores of people had been scrambling to fill up containers and were engulfed in an inferno. Dozens of charred bodies remain at the scene, which is cordoned off by security forces. Transiting Pluto is smack on Mexico's Uranus opposite her Neptune right now. Very strangely the eclipsed Moon in the Saros chart for tomorrow's eclipse tightly squares this opposition. It looks like this tragedy will go down in the astrological history book as linked to tomorrow's eclipse. About 170 people are feared to have died in two separate Mediterranean shipwrecks, the UNHCR says. The Italian navy reports a ship sank off the coast of Libya with 117 people on board, while Moroccan and Spanish authorities have tried to find a lost boat in the western Mediterranean. The UN human rights agency could not independently verify the death tolls. No astrology data is yet available on this other desperately sad development. 00.29 The rapidly moving almost Full Moon at 13 Cancer waxing square Mars at 13 Aries 00.55 Mercury at 23 Capricorn waning septile Neptune at 15 Pisces 01.25 The Moon at 13 Cancer waning quincunx Venus at 13 Sagittarius 01.49 The Moon at 14 Cancer opposition Saturn at 14 Capricorn 03.20 The Moon at 15 Cancer waxing trine Neptune at 15 Pisces Minor lunar occultation of star Zeta Gemini observable from UK around 04:59 to 05:35 05.03 The Moon at 16 Cancer waning quincunx Jupiter at 16 Sagittarius 07.29 Venus at 14 Sagittarius waning semi-sextile Saturn at 14 Capricorn 08.20 Venus at 14 Sagittarius waning sesuiquadrate Uranus at 29 Aries 09.01 The Sun ingresses Aquarius and a new astrological month begins.

05.17 Moment of FULL MOON

TIMINGS OF THE ECLIPSE Penumbral eclipse starts 02:36:30 UT Umbral eclipse starts 03:33:54 UT Totality starts 04:41:17 UT Greatest Eclipse 05:13:27 UT Totality ends 05:43:18 UT Umbral eclipse ends 06:50:39 UT Penumbral eclipse ends 07:48:00 UT This is a humdinger of a Total Lunar Eclipse, with strong accompanying planetary events and a visual treat for much of Europe and North America. This is a major astrological event with an inspiring Venus conjunct Jupiter in Sagittarius and an austere Mars square Saturn, testing our metal. The eclipsed Moon is square Uranus, no doubt delivering a measure of shock and surprise. At the moment of greatest eclipse the Sun and Moon align to the Prime Meridian of Singapore. The Sun rises and the Moon sets over Turkey, and the Totally Eclipsed Moon culminates at Washington DC and at Medellin. Venus and Jupiter rise over the UK and at Rio de Janeiro. They culminate at Kumzar and set over the Koreas. Saturn rises at Belgrade, Mars culminates at Wellington, Mercury rises at Douala.

Lunar Saros 134 Today's eclipse is member 27 of the 73 eclipses which comprise Lunar Saros 134. This saros started on April 1st in the year 1550. The longest Total Eclipse in the series will be in 2217. The series 'went total' in 1874. Today's eclipse is the 8th of 26. The chart below is that for the maximum point in time of that first eclipse, set arbitrarily for London. I use this chart to judge the character of the whole saros series. The last eclipse in this saros was on Jan 9th 2001. Four days after that eclipse there was an earthquake in El Salvador which killed 800. 7 days after the eclipse saw the launch of Wikipedia. 17 days after the eclipse there was a massive earthquake in India, the 'Gujarat Earthquake' which had a death toll of 20,000. Two days after the 1982 eclipse (30/12/1982) saw the beginning of the true Internet. One day before the 1964 eclipse (19/12/1964) the 'Christmas Flood' in Oregon occurred. Two days after the eclipse Gold Finger began its run in the USA. Four days after the eclipse a cyclone occurred in India (Palk Strait) killing 1800. Three days after the 1946 eclipse Unicef was founded. The 1928 eclipse was quiet. Three days before the 1910 eclipse (17/11/1910) witnessed the first take off from a ship of a fixed wing aircraft. Three days after the eclipse saw the start of the Mexican Revolution. A month later a plague in India killed 40,000. Despite these awful events a common thread running through this Saros seems to be connected to human communication. This factor corresponds the 'airy' quality of the saros chart above, (5 planets in Air), and a strong Uranus, in Libra conjunct the lunar node, in a grand trine (mainly air) with Saturn and Jupiter. The 'heaviness' and suffering corresponds to Saturn in fixed square to Neptune, and a similar fixed square between Jupiter and Pluto. Today's eclipse falls at a point (1 degree Leo) important to a great many countries' and people's charts in the current 'Daze Database'. It closely contacts Jupiter in the UK chart and the Sun of Greece, Oman and Liberia and singer Beyonce, the Moon of Tom Cruise and Charlotte Church, the Mercury of Asif Ali Zardari, the Venus of Mike Pence, Amber Rudd, Madonna and North Korea, the Mars of Nicola Sturgeon, George Clooney, and Marine Le Penn, the Jupiter of Tom Watson, David cameron, Nick Clegg (and the UK), the Saturn of Tiger Woods, the Uranus of Jerry Hall, Sudan and the NRA, the Pluto of Ayatollah Khamanei, the Node of Meghan Markle and the MC of Eric Clapton.

The next Total Lunar Eclipse is on May 26th 2021, not visible from the UK, the following one is 16th May 2022, most of which is visible from the UK, an agenda item. After the eclipse is over... 11.48 Mars at 14 Aries waxing square Saturn at 14 Capricorn 18.12 Mercury at 26 Capricorn waxing novile Jupiter at 16 Sagittarius 19.43 Venus at 15 Sagittarius waning decile Pluto at 21 Capricorn 20.11 The Moon is at perigee, fastest and nearest to the Earth all month.

Yesterday's Total Lunar Eclipse at Tours Cathedral France.

We are now in the wake of yesterday's eclipse. A 'slightly stunned' atmosphere prevails. Venus and Jupiter are conjunct today at 16 Sagittarius. There is some optimism here, although the conjunction is square neptune adding more than a dash of the unrealistic. The conjunction has been building up all month. The conjunction exactly hits the Mercury of the (accurate) Kim Un power transfer chart. Optimistic communications are evident from that quarter. Another much tighter conjunction of these two planets occurs (in Pisces) in the morning skies of May Day 2022 accompanying a New Moon in Taurus conjunct Uranus. That one is worth penciling in. Today has a forthright uncompromising 'universal extravert' quality. The focus is on 'creative demonstration'. 01.47 The very rapidly waning full Moon at 14 Leo waning quincunx Saturn at 14 Capricorn 02.02 Mercury at 26 Capricorn opposition the lunar node at 26 Cancer A Fire Grand Trine involving the Moon, Venus conjunct Jupiter and Mars is manifest 02:00 to 05:15 02.20 The Moon at 14 Leo waxing trine Mars at 14 Aries 03.01 The Moon at 15 Leo waxing quincunx Neptune at 15 Pisces 04.44 The Moon at 16 Leo waning trine Venus at 16 Sagittarius 05.12 The Moon at 16 Leo waning trine Jupiter at 16 Sagittarius 12.27 Venus at 16 Sagittarius conjunction Jupiter at 16 Sagittarius 13.36 The Moon at 21 Leo waning quincunx Pluto at 21 Capricorn 18.14 Mars at 15 Aries waxing semi-sextile Neptune at 15 Pisces

From 03:24 GMT today we have a no nonsense practical atmosphere. Coupled with Mercury square Uranus we have in store a 'rattled' vibration, good for getting on with the job but not so auspicious for decision making and communications. 00.08 The rapidly waning full moon at 28 Leo quincunx Mercury at 28 Capricorn 01.20 The Moon at 29 Leo waxing trine Uranus at 29 Aries, moon void 03.24 The Moon enters Virgo 08.11 The Moon at 3 Virgo waning quincunx The Sun at 3 Aquarius 09.01 The Sun at 3 Aquarius waning quintile Mars at 15 Aries 11.14 Mercury at 29 Capricorn waning square Uranus at 29 Aries The next planetary aspect is 'Mars trine Jupiter' on Friday. That is something to look forward to.

Today is a bit of a humdrum. Main street practicality. However Mars in Aries is pushing in fiery trine aspect to Jupiter in Sagittarius, exact tomorrow, so it wont take much to turn on the lights of enterprise and adventure. 01.06 Mercury at 30 Capricorn waning semi-square Neptune at 15 Pisces 01.57 The dec elating and waning Moon at 14 Virgo waning trine Saturn at 14 Capricorn A mutable T-square involving the Moon, Neptune, and Venus and Jupiter is manifest 02:30 to 08:30 02.56 The Moon at 15 Virgo opposition Neptune at 15 Pisces 04.25 The Moon at 16 Virgo waxing quincunx Mars at 16 Aries 05.41 The Moon at 16 Virgo waning square Jupiter at 16 Sagittarius 05.51 Mercury enters Aquarius Mercury is a morning star right now and will whiz through Aquarius in just 17 days. Mercury is at Superior Conjunction with the Sun at at 10 Aquarius on Wednesday Jan 30th. Then as an evening star, he sextiles Jupiter on Feb 3rd, sextiles Mars on Feb 8th and sextiles Uranus on Feb 9th. Mercury passes into Pisces on Feb 10th. This is a clean sweep of a residence. Mercury in Aquarius invokes progress and advancement. There is global altruism and a unique humor in communications. A breath of fresh air. 08.28 The Moon at 18 Virgo waning square Venus at 18 Sagittarius 10.08 The Moon reaches her disseminating phase 13.51 The Moon at 21 Virgo waning trine Pluto at 21 Capricorn, moon void 21.56 The Moon at 26 Virgo waxing sextile the lunar node at 26 Cancer.

A couple of days are at hand with the astrological emphasis on social interaction and communication. It will not be as industrious or as efficient as of late. However with Mars in 'fire trine' aspect to Jupiter today there is a very strong urge to push 'up and ahead' with courage, faith and energy. Tap into its source and you may go far. 01.58 The void of course decelerating disseminating Moon at 29 Virgo waxing quincunx Uranus at 29 Aries 04.04 The Moon enters Libra, ushering in a smoother, lazier, sweeter atmosphere. 04.18 Mercury at 2 Aquarius waxing semi-square Jupiter at 17 Sagittarius 06.57 The Moon at 2 Libra waning trine Mercury at 2 Aquarius 12.49 The Moon at 5 Libra waning trine The Sun at 5 Aquarius 17.54 Mars at 17 Aries waxing trine Jupiter at 17 Sagittarius Saturday is social, Sunday has an edge.

Social demands predominate today. The decelerating disseminating Moon glides reasonably smoothly through Libra. A cardinal T-square involving the Moon, Mars and Saturn is manifest 04:00 to 09:00 04.11 The Moon at 14 Libra waning square Saturn at 14 Capricorn 04.55 The Moon at 15 Libra waning quincunx Neptune at 15 Pisces 08.24 The Moon at 17 Libra waning sextile Jupiter at 17 Sagittarius 08.57 The Moon at 17 Libra opposition Mars at 17 Aries 15.03 The Moon at 21 Libra waning sextile Venus at 21 Sagittarius 16.31 The Moon at 21 Libra waning square Pluto at 21 Capricorn

The dominant outer body aspect right now is Saturn sextile Neptune, exact three times during 2019, 31st Jan, 18th June and Nov 9th. The sextile currently 'homes in' on the 'Dragon's Tail' (lunar descending node) in the chart of Brazil. Transiting Neptune opposed the Brazilian Sun 7 days ago. Nearly 300 people are missing after a dam collapsed at an iron ore mine in south-eastern Brazil at 15:00 GMT on Friday. The break caused a sea of muddy sludge that buried the dam's cafeteria where workers were eating lunch on Friday. Monday's Total Lunar Eclipse chart relocated to the location of the Dam at Brumadinho puts Mars/Pluto midpoint exactly on the local MC and transiting Neptune square the ascendant. We can link the event to the eclipse. Great suffering and loss of life. Transiting Neptune is conjunct Pluto in the chart of Venezuela this year and next. Powerfully damaging influences are set for this country. Venezuela's political crisis appears to be reaching boiling point amid growing efforts by the opposition to unseat the socialist president, Nicolas Maduro. The South American country has been caught in a downward spiral for years with growing political discontent further fueled by skyrocketing hyperinflation, power cuts and shortages of food and medicine. The Neptune conjunction lasts till the end of 2020. A long haul. Today has 'an edge'. A cardinal T-square involving the Moon, her node and Uranus is manifest 00:00 to 05:30 00.47 The decelerating Moon at 26 Libra squares her node from north of the ecliptic. 02.22 Mercury at 5 Aquarius waning novile Neptune at 15 Pisces 05.22 The Moon at 29 Libra opposition Uranus at 29 Aries. The Moon is then void of course for 2 hours 10 minutes. 07.32 The Moon enters Scorpio ushering in the fixed last quarter phase. 09.33 Venus at 21 Sagittarius waning semi-sextile Pluto at 21 Capricorn 18.00 The Moon at 6 Scorpio waning square Mercury at 6 Aquarius 21.11 The Moon at Last Quarter 21.29 Mercury at 6 Aquarius waning quintile Mars at 18 Aries

Not the most flexible atmosphere. 09.47 The Fixed Last Quarter Moon decelerating at 15 Scorpio waning sextile Saturn at 15 Capricorn 10.14 The Moon at 15 Scorpio waning trine Neptune at 15 Pisces 17.22 The Moon at 19 Scorpio waning quincunx Mars at 19 Aries 18.45 The Sun at 9 Aquarius waxing septile Jupiter at 17 Sagittarius 22.39 The Moon at 22 Scorpio waning sextile Pluto at 22 Capricorn, moon void State of the sky:- Today the Sun is at 8 degrees Aquarius. Mercury is also in Aquarius. Saturn and Pluto are in Capricorn. Venus and Jupiter are in Sagittarius. Mars and Uranus are in Aries. There are 52 days to the Vernal Equinox. All the planets are direct in motion. We are starting to pull out of an eclipse season. Mercury, currently a morning star entered Aquarius on Jan 24th and is at Superior Conjunction with the Sun at 10 Aquarius on Wednesday. Then as an evening star, he sextiles Jupiter on Feb 3rd, sextiles Mars on Feb 8th and sextiles Uranus on Feb 9th. Mercury passes into Pisces on Feb 10th. This is a clean sweep of a residence. Mercury in Aquarius invokes progress and advancement. There is global altruism and a unique humor in communications. A breath of fresh air. Mercury next turns retrograde at 30 Pisces on March 5th 2019. Venus is a direct morning star in Sagittarius. Her residence here, this year has been and continues to be favorable. She trines Uranus on Feb 2nd, injecting excitement. Venus enters Capricorn on Feb 3rd, conjuncts Saturn on Feb 18th and conjuncts Pluto on Feb 23rd. This brief period has an 'electric love' dimension to it. Venus in Sagittarius is essentially fun, freedom, adventurous affection. Mars is in Aries. Mars has a full itinerary whilst in Aries. He 'fire trines' Jupiter on Jan 25th, being encouraged, square Pluto on Feb 2nd, damaging, sextile Mercury on Feb 8th, being instructed and conjunct Uranus, the climax of the residence, on Feb 13th at 29 degrees Aries, conjuring up red hot emotion and action. Mars leaves Aries for the sign of Taurus on Valentine's day, Feb 14th. Mars in Aries is a matter of 'shoot first talk later'. We are an ardent, impulsive, pugnacious and combative period. An assertive challenge rings out. Wild initiations. Lots of fun. Jupiter is in Sagittarius. This is a visionary time. The motivation here is a need to move, to grow, to seek freedom, to expand and to 'open up'. Optimism, energy, forthrightness, faith in the future and expression of adventure are the hallmarks of the residence. Jupiter makes a waning square to Neptune, Jan 13th 2019, June 16th 2019 and Sept 21st 2019. This is the only major aspect of the residence and suggests a 'delusional unreal glamorous accompaniment' to this essentially jovial component of the nature of the skies in the year ahead. With Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, Jupiter in Sagittarius adds wit and wonderment before the inevitable astrological maelstrom of 2020 when he joins the two heavy weights in the sign of the goat. Jupiter is all the time moving towards the 2020 union with Saturn and Pluto in the last decan of Capricorn. Jupiter then moves on to conjunct Neptune at 24 degrees Pisces in 2022. The Grand Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurs on the Winter Solstice 2020. This will be a 'mutation conjunction'. It is the first of an unbroken series of Jupiter Saturn conjunctions in Air signs which extend till around 2140. Since 1840 all the Jupiter Saturn conjunctions have been in Earth signs, with the exception of the 1980-1981 triple conjunction. Saturn is direct in Capricorn. The energy of Saturn in this sign is dense, practical, realistic, industrious on a huge scale, formative, establishing and sustaining. Saturn was last in Capricorn between 1988 and 1991. During the residence Saturn will sextile Neptune in Pisces three times during 2019, 31st Jan, 18th June and Nov 9th. All world religions may face serious issues of faith, science and political change during these times. Saturn will conjunct the dragon's tail (lunar descending node) in 2019 demanding a karmic debt be paid. The most important aspect however is Saturn conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. The are warlike connotations with this symbolism, this is a danger zone. The last time these two astrological heavy weights meet in Capricorn was in 1518, and before that in 1248. We are dealing here with 'forces majeure'. Saturn remains in Capricorn till Feb 17th 2020. Uranus is now direct and revisiting Aries. Uranus is spending 150 days concluding his un-finished business in Aries before re-entering Taurus on April 6th. He will then reside in Taurus until July 2025. Neptune is now direct in Pisces he has been in this sign since 2011. Neptune in Pisces is symbolic of the greatest watery immersion in the deepest subliminal and spiritual ocean. Neptune is in its own sign of Pisces, a transit that only occurs every 165 years. Neptune rules Pisces and also rules the deepest realms of the subconscious mind. The oceanic vibration of love is flowing with a deeper and higher frequency. Our human mission is to flow with it. Art, music and science are enhanced with the progress of this residence. The blue hair we see these days is very Neptune in Pisces. Neptune will turn retrograde at 19 degrees Pisces on June 21 2019. Neptune enters Aries on March 30th 2025. Pluto is now direct in Capricorn approaching 22 degrees of that sign. 7 degrees now separate Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. Saturn is conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. This is the 'serious zone'. The following astrological heavyweight event, later on in 2020, is the 'Grand Conjunction' of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurring on the Winter Solstice of that year, beckoning to a healthier 'New Age Feeling' just a little way beyond. Pluto enters Aquarius on March 23rd 2023. The next eclipse is a Total Solar Eclipse (passing through South America) on July 2nd 2019 at 11 Cancer (weakly opposite Saturn), followed by a Partial Lunar Eclipse (conjunct Pluto) at 24 Capricorn on July 16th 2019.

The decelerating last quarter Moon starts the day void of course in Scorpio. Mercury is almost at Superior Conjunction. 01.02 The Sun at 9 Aquarius waning bi-novile Uranus at 29 Aries 01.26 The Sun at 9 Aquarius waning decile Neptune at 15 Pisces 07.09 The Moon at 26 Scorpio trines her node from north of the ecliptic 09.20 Mercury at 9 Aquarius waxing septile Jupiter at 17 Sagittarius 11.41 Mercury at 9 Aquarius waning bi-novile Uranus at 29 Aries 11.45 Mercury at 9 Aquarius waxing semi-square Venus at 24 Sagittarius 12.00 Mercury at 9 Aquarius waning decile Neptune at 15 Pisces 12.20 The Moon at 29 Scorpio waning quincunx Uranus at 29 Aries 14.34 The Moon enters Sagittarius, joining Venus and Jupiter in this sign and the day opens up.

02.52 Superior Conjunction Mercury and the Sun at 10 Aquarius. A full Mercury. The mind's illumination. 10.03 Venus at 25 Sagittarius waning bi-novile Neptune at 15 Pisces 10.04 The Moon at 10 Sagittarius waning sextile The Sun at 10 Aquarius 10.33 The Moon at 10 Sagittarius waning sextile Mercury at 10 Aquarius 19.07 The Moon at 15 Sagittarius waning square Neptune at 15 Pisces

00.24 The waning and decelerating Moon conjunction Jupiter at 18 Sagittarius 05.50 The Moon at 20 Sagittarius waning trine Mars at 20 Aries 14.17 Saturn at 15 Capricorn waning sextile Neptune at 15 Pisces Saturn will sextile Neptune in Pisces three times during 2019, 31st Jan, 18th June and Nov 9th. This is a major astrological hallmark of 2019. It harnesses faith and promotes healing. It's a subtle but very practical vibration. 17.36 The Moon conjunction Venus at 26 Sagittarius. This manifests as an occultation of Venus observable from the region shown on the map below.

18.00 The Moon reaches her balsamic phase. The procession to the New Moon now begins in earnest. 22.34 The Moon at 29 Sagittarius waning trine Uranus at 29 Aries, moon void

00.49 The slowly moving balsamic Moon enters Capricorn joining Saturn and Pluto in this sign. This ingress sets a rather 'tough and tumble' backdrop to a day in which Mars in Aries squares Pluto in Capricorn, potentially evoking episodes of rash violence over the next couple of days. Mars square Pluto is the brute in the astrological tapestry. 01.12 Mars at 21 Aries waxing decile Neptune at 15 Pisces No other aspects are manifest today other than the ominous build up of Mars square Pluto. Care required tonight.

Plenty happening today. Deep, dark and dastardly. Pot of gold at the end...perhaps. 00.49 Mercury at 15 Aquarius waning semi-sextile Neptune at 15 Pisces 02.26 Mercury at 15 Aquarius waxing semi-sextile Saturn at 15 Capricorn 03.20 Mars at 22 Aries waxing square Pluto at 22 Capricorn 06.42 The slowly moving balsamic Moon at 15 Capricorn waning sextile Neptune at 15 Pisces 06.58 The Moon conjunction Saturn at 15 Capricorn. This is manifest as a lunar occultation of Saturn visible from the area shown on the map below.

This is the day of the old Moon, very much a 'loose ends' day, finishing things off. Mercury sextiles Jupiter prompting development and progress in plans and schemes. 03.38 Mercury at 17 Aquarius waning quintile Uranus at 29 Aries 04:00 to 11:00 A Cardinal 'T' square forms involving the Moon, her node and Uranus. 04.35 The ancient slow moving Moon, crawling along at 26 Capricorn opposes her node. 10.53 The Moon at 29 Capricorn waning square Uranus at 29 Aries, moon void. 13.05 The Moon enters Aquarius, joining the Sun and Mercury in this sign. We are drawn to future proof possibilities and potentials. 21.55 Mercury at 18 Aquarius waxing sextile Jupiter at 18 Sagittarius 22.31 Venus enters Capricorn. Venus as a morning star will reside here for the remainder of February. This is a short, rather sharp residence. Venus sextiles Neptune on Feb 17th, conjuncts Saturn on Feb 18th at 17 degrees Capricorn, conjuncts Pluto on Feb 23rd at 22 Capricorn and squares Uranus on March 1st. Venus leaves Capricorn for Aquarius on that same day, March 1st. Venus in Capricorn seeks value and security. She is a material girl and bestower of support and dedication. Ernest commitment.

03.14 The Sun reaches 15 degrees Aquarius. We are exactly halfway between the Capricorn Solstice and the Vernal Equinox. In the northern hemisphere the season of 'stirring' is starting, in the south the long summer is ending. Seasons they change. 04.00 The Sun at 15 Aquarius waning semi-sextile Neptune at 15 Pisces 11.09 The Sun at 15 Aquarius waxing semi-sextile Saturn at 15 Capricorn 21.04 Moment of NEW MOON

New Moon conjunct Mercury sextile Jupiter. A New Moon promoting 'communication'. This is the first New Moon following the Partial Solar Eclipse at 15 degrees Capricorn on January 6th 2019 and it is the 5th New Moon before the Total Solar Eclipse on July 2nd 2019 at 11 degrees Cancer. With the passing of today's New Moon we are pulling out of the recent eclipse season. Every New Moon occurs with a corresponding head rush of new seed potentials. This one has an optimistic quality being sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius. This is a time of 'wait and see'. There is an element of hope. The New Moon sits on the Saturn/Neptune midpoint. These two planets are exactly sextile right now and represent one of the major hallmarks of 2019, so today's New Moon has a particularly circumspect and visionary quality.

Pluto is now direct in Capricorn approaching 22 degrees of that sign. 6 degrees now separate Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. Saturn is conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. This is the 'serious zone'. The following astrological heavyweight event, later on in 2020, is the 'Grand Conjunction' of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurring on the Winter Solstice of that year, beckoning to a healthier 'New Age Feeling' just a little way beyond. Pluto enters Aquarius on March 23rd 2023. The next eclipse is a Total Solar Eclipse (passing through South America) on July 2nd 2019 at 11 Cancer (weakly opposite Saturn), followed by a Partial Lunar Eclipse (conjunct Pluto) at 24 Capricorn on July 16th 2019.

Astrological song of the day..A merman I should turn to be. We are now in the astrological month of Pisces and we start the month surfing a Super Full Moon. In the UK seven MPs have resigned from the Labour Party in protest at Jeremy Corbyn's approach to Brexit and anti-Semitism. Currently transiting Pluto is square the Labour Party Sun/Pluto midpoint and transiting Jupiter opposes the Labour Pluto. Both power striving influences. Today's Full Moon opposes Labour natal Saturn. Progressed Sun squares progressed Saturn all year. A serious development this. 00.00 The Moon at 21 Leo waning trine Jupiter at 21 Sagittarius 02.30 The Moon at 22 Leo waning quincunx Pluto at 22 Capricorn 06.37 Mercury at 16 Pisces conjunction Neptune at 16 Pisces 08.59 The Moon is at perigee, fastest and nearest to the Earth all month. 13.52 The Moon at 29 Leo waxing trine Uranus at 29 Aries, moon void 14.49 The Moon enters Virgo 15.54 Moment of FULL MOON Full Moon trine Mars conjunct Uranus. A razor sharp vibration.

Today's Full Moon is the first one following on from the Total Lunar Eclipse on January 21st 2019 at zero Leo and the 5th Full Moon before the Partial Lunar Eclipse on July 16th 2019 at 24 Capricorn. Today's Full Moon at zero Virgo is favorably placed trine Mars and Uranus. Mercury is conjunct Neptune. Earth signs predominate as does mutability and cardinality. There are no planets in Air signs. The quality of this lunation is radical, unorthodox, unconventional, outspoken, charismatic and telepathic. Today's Full Moon directly hits the ascendants of Donald Trump, Elton John, and the Yemen, the Sun of Ukraine and Poland, the Venus and Saturn of Gerry Adams, the Venus of Joseph Kennedy, the Mars (opposite Saturn) of Ariana Legrande, the Mars of Bob Geldof, the Jupiter of Angela Raynor, Julia Roberts and Sudan, the Saturn of Emmanuel Macron, and the Pluto of Iraq, the Kate Bush generation and NASA. At London Uranus culminates. The Ascendant there is conjunct the Saturn/Neptune midpoint. Moonrise is at Belgrade, Mercury and Neptune set at Baghdad and are at lower culmination at Tokyo, Venus and Saturn straddle Mexico City. With the passing of today's Full Moon we take leave of the eclipse season. 20.31 The Moon at 4 Virgo waxing trine Mars at 4 Taurus

The Full Moon has climaxed. We rapidly move on. Astrological song of the day. Waiting for the man. Mercury enters his shadow today prior to his retrograde station on March 5th. The advice is now to begin no new initiatives. An eminently practical day. Establishing working order, indexing, measuring recording. 02.40 Mercury at 17 Pisces waxing sextile Saturn at 17 Capricorn 15:00 to midnight A Mutable 'T' square forms involving the Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune. Movement, give, openness, an interesting nine hours.. 15.23 The waning full Moon rapidly moving at 16 Virgo opposition Neptune at 16 Pisces 17.33 The Moon at 17 Virgo waning trine Saturn at 17 Capricorn 19.11 The Moon at 18 Virgo opposition Mercury at 18 Pisces 21.45 The Moon at 20 Virgo waning trine Venus at 20 Capricorn 22.55 The Sun at 2 Pisces waxing semi-square Saturn at 17 Capricorn 23.42 The Moon at 21 Virgo waning square Jupiter at 21 Sagittarius

Astrological song of the day. Magic bus. 01.52 The rapidly waning full Moon decelerating at 22 Virgo waning trine Pluto at 22 Capricorn, moon void. The Moon is void of course for 12 hours 25 minutes. 04.17 The Sun at 2 Pisces waxing novile Pluto at 22 Capricorn 06.03 The Moon at 25 Virgo sextiles her node from north of the ecliptic. 13.28 The Moon at 29 Virgo waxing quincunx Uranus at 29 Aries 14.19 The Moon enters Libra. A softer vibration, or at least softer appearances are manifest. Ambivalence, indecision, sociability, suggestibility, all prevalent traits over the next couple of days. 18.01 Mercury at 19 Pisces waning novile Uranus at 29 Aries 18.53 The Moon at 3 Libra waning quincunx The Sun at 3 Pisces 22.16 The Sun at 3 Pisces waxing quintile Jupiter at 21 Sagittarius 22.27 The Moon at 5 Libra waxing quincunx Mars at 5 Taurus

A fast-moving fire swept through a historic district of Bangladesh's capital, Dhaka, killing at least 78 people. The blaze broke out on Wednesday night in a residential building that had flammable material stored on the ground floor. The fire broke out in a mixed-use building at 23:40 local time (17:40 GMT) on Wednesday, when many residents were sleeping. A mutable cross was manifest in the sky at that time involving Jupiter, Neptune, Mercury and the Moon. The cross picked out the Moon square Ascendant in the fiery, mutable Bangladesh chart. Transiting Venus and Pluto opposite the lunar node were aligned west-east from Dacca at the time of the event. Tragically large building fires are relatively common in densely populated Bangladesh, owing to lax safety regulations and poor conditions. Hundreds of people have been killed in recent years. The Japanese spacecraft Hayabusa 2 will attempt to collect a sample of rock from an asteroid today, the country's space agency (Jaxa) says. Hayabusa 2 reached asteroid Ryugu in June 2018 after a three-and-a-half-year journey from Earth. It will descend to the surface and attempt to grab the sample from a pre-chosen site. The spacecraft will return to Earth with the samples in 2020 after its exploration of Ryugu is complete. Astrological song of the day. Get it on. Venus is conjunct Pluto early GMT Saturday. Today, this looming conjunction and the Moon being buffeted through Libra, puts the astrological emphasis totally on relationships. Steer a smooth and easy course if you can. 00.34 Mars at 5 Taurus waxing tri-decile Saturn at 17 Capricorn 00.46 Mars at 5 Taurus waxing bi-septile Pluto at 22 Capricorn 01.44 Venus at 21 Capricorn waxing semi-sextile Jupiter at 21 Sagittarius 07.02 Mercury at 20 Pisces waning semi-square Mars at 5 Taurus 15.53 The decelerating Moon at 16 Libra waning quincunx Neptune at 16 Pisces 18.21 The Moon at 17 Libra waning square Saturn at 17 Capricorn 20.40 Mercury at 21 Pisces waxing square Jupiter at 21 Sagittarius 21.18 The Moon reaches her disseminating phase Relationship dynamics in evidence tonight as Venus conjuncts Pluto.

Astrological tune of the day. Jesu Joy. Potentially an important day. True colours revealed. Venus conjunct Pluto brings the silky veils of ardor, Mercury sextile Pluto sees through the veil. 00.56 The decelerating disseminating Moon at 21 Libra waning sextile Jupiter at 21 Sagittarius 01.22 The Moon at 21 Libra waning quincunx Mercury at 21 Pisces 02:00 to 07:00 A Cardinal 'T' square is manifest involving the Moon, the Venus Pluto conjunction and the lunar node. A tricky few hours. 02.47 The Moon at 22 Libra waning square Venus at 22 Capricorn 02.52 The Moon at 22 Libra waning square Pluto at 22 Capricorn 03.53 Venus at 22 Capricorn conjunction Pluto at 22 Capricorn 07.01 The Moon at 25 Libra squares her node from north of the ecliptic.

Getting up a head of steam. 16.00 Mars at 6 Taurus waxing sesuiquadrate Jupiter at 21 Sagittarius 17.18 Mercury at 22 Pisces waxing sextile Pluto at 22 Capricorn

Pluto (and Saturn) are conjunct the 'descending lunar node', the 'dragon's tail' from now right through to October. Pluto is clear of the 'Serpent' by mid August. It will be interesting to correlate events to this astrological picture. 'Fall from power' is what springs to mind. Astrological song of the day. Wasn't born to follow. A deep and soulful couple of days are in store with the Sun in Pisces and the Moon in Scorpio. Emotional responses and determination evident. 00.44 The disseminating decelerating Moon at 5 Scorpio waning trine The Sun at 5 Pisces 03.13 The Moon at 7 Scorpio opposition Mars at 7 Taurus 14.53 Venus at 24 Capricorn waning bi-septile Mars at 7 Taurus 17.12 Mercury at 24 Pisces waning decile Uranus at 30 Aries 19.30 The Moon at 16 Scorpio waning trine Neptune at 16 Pisces 22.00 Venus at 24 Capricorn waning septile Neptune at 16 Pisces 22.21 The Moon at 17 Scorpio waning sextile Saturn at 17 Capricorn

Astrological song of the day. Who knows where the time goes? 00.23 Mars at 7 Taurus waxing septile Neptune at 16 Pisces 03.59 Venus at 25 Capricorn opposition the lunar node at 25 Cancer 07:00 to 14:00 A planetary kite, focused on Venus and Pluto opposite the Node, is manifest for these seven hours as the Moon draws Mercury and her Node into a watery grand trine.It's all about emotion, will and communication. 07.18 The decelerating disseminating Moon at 22 Scorpio waning sextile Pluto at 22 Capricorn 11.15 The Moon at 25 Scorpio waning trine Mercury at 25 Pisces 11.28 The Moon at 25 Scorpio waxing trine the lunar node at 25 Cancer 12.14 The Moon at 25 Scorpio waning sextile Venus at 25 Capricorn, moon void 13.37 Mercury at 25 Pisces waning trine the lunar node at 25 Cancer 20.40 The Moon at 30 Scorpio waning quincunx Uranus at 30 Aries 21.21 The Moon enters Sagittarius joining Jupiter in this sign. State of the sky:- Today the Sun is at 06 degrees Pisces. Mercury and Neptune are also in Pisces. Venus, Saturn and Pluto are in Capricorn. There are 24 days to the Vernal Equinox. All the planets are direct in motion but Mercury turns retrograde next week. We have now left the recent eclipse season. Mercury is in Pisces as an evening star. Mercury has a lengthy 65 day residence in Pisces this year due to his retrograde motion. He entered his shadow on Feb 20th. By Feb 27th his motion is less than a degree per day. Mercury turns retrograde at 29 Pisces on March 5th and is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun at 24 Pisces on March 15th. As a morning star he again squares Jupiter, sextiles Pluto, sextiles Saturn from March 15th to 20th and is conjunct Neptune a second time on March 24th at 17 Pisces. Mercury turns direct at 16 Pisces on March 28th. He is conjunct Neptune a final time on April 2nd, sextiles Saturn, Pluto and squares Jupiter from April 7th to 12th having regained a degree per day by then. Mercury leaves his shadow and enters Aries on April 17th. The emphasis of the complete residence is the conjunction with Neptune. Emphatic lessons to be learnt regarding faith, vulnerability and self undoing. This is a very inspiring period and will witness a lot of changes of current and direction. Venus is a direct morning star in Capricorn. Venus as a morning star will reside here for the remainder of February. This is a short, rather sharp residence. Venus squares Uranus on March 1st. Venus leaves Capricorn for Aquarius on that same day, March 1st. Venus in Capricorn seeks value and security. She is a material girl and bestower of support and dedication. Ernest commitment. Mars is now in Taurus, residing in this sign for 44 days. Mars in Taurus adds patience, stability and strength to undertakings. The Sun sextiles Mars on Feb 28th, injecting will and purpose, Mars sextiles Neptune on March 10th, acting with flair and presence, and trines Saturn with productive industry, on March 14th. Mercury sextiles Mars on March 18th, with nimble dexterity, Mars trines Pluto with sheer will, effort and power, on March 20th. Venus squares Mars with disharmonious passion, on March 21st. Mars enters Gemini on March 31st. What is made during this period is built to last. Get stuck in. Jupiter is in Sagittarius. This is a visionary time. The motivation here is a need to move, to grow, to seek freedom, to expand and to 'open up'. Optimism, energy, forthrightness, faith in the future and expression of adventure are the hallmarks of the residence. Jupiter makes a waning square to Neptune, Jan 13th 2019, June 16th 2019 and Sept 21st 2019. This is the only major aspect of the residence and suggests a 'delusional unreal glamorous accompaniment' to this essentially jovial component of the nature of the skies in the year ahead. With Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, Jupiter in Sagittarius adds wit and wonderment before the inevitable astrological maelstrom of 2020 when he joins the two heavy weights in the sign of the goat. Jupiter is all the time moving towards the 2020 union with Saturn and Pluto in the last decan of Capricorn. Jupiter then moves on to conjunct Neptune at 24 degrees Pisces in 2022. The Grand Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurs on the Winter Solstice 2020. This will be a 'mutation conjunction'. It is the first of an unbroken series of Jupiter Saturn conjunctions in Air signs which extend till around 2140. Since 1840 all the Jupiter Saturn conjunctions have been in Earth signs, with the exception of the 1980-1981 triple conjunction. Jupiter turns retrograde on April 10th at 24 Sagittarius. Saturn is direct in Capricorn. The energy of Saturn in this sign is dense, practical, realistic, industrious on a huge scale, formative, establishing and sustaining. Saturn was last in Capricorn between 1988 and 1991. During the residence Saturn will sextile Neptune in Pisces three times during 2019, 31st Jan, 18th June and Nov 9th. All world religions may face serious issues of faith, science and political change during these times. Saturn will conjunct the dragon's tail (lunar descending node) in 2019 demanding a karmic debt be paid. The most important aspect however is Saturn conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. The are warlike connotations with this symbolism, this is a danger zone. The last time these two astrological heavy weights meet in Capricorn was in 1518, and before that in 1248. We are dealing here with 'forces majeure'. Saturn remains in Capricorn till Feb 17th 2020. Uranus is now direct and revisiting Aries. Uranus is spending 150 days concluding his un-finished business in Aries before re-entering Taurus on March 6th. He will then reside in Taurus until July 2025. Neptune is now direct in Pisces he has been in this sign since 2011. Neptune in Pisces is symbolic of the greatest watery immersion in the deepest subliminal and spiritual ocean. Neptune is in its own sign of Pisces, a transit that only occurs every 165 years. Neptune rules Pisces and also rules the deepest realms of the subconscious mind. The oceanic vibration of love is flowing with a deeper and higher frequency. Our human mission is to flow with it. Art, music and science are enhanced with the progress of this residence. The blue hair we see these days is very Neptune in Pisces. Neptune will turn retrograde at 19 degrees Pisces on June 21 2019. Neptune enters Aries on March 30th 2025. Pluto is now direct in Capricorn approaching 22 degrees of that sign. 6 degrees now separate Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. Saturn is conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. This is the 'serious zone'. The following astrological heavyweight event, later on in 2020, is the 'Grand Conjunction' of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurring on the Winter Solstice of that year, beckoning to a healthier 'New Age Feeling' just a little way beyond. Pluto enters Aquarius on March 23rd 2023. The next eclipse is a Total Solar Eclipse (passing through South America) on July 2nd 2019 at 11 Cancer (weakly opposite Saturn), followed by a Partial Lunar Eclipse (conjunct Pluto) at 24 Capricorn on July 16th 2019.

Astrological song of the day. Can't find my way home. Today and tomorrow the Last Quarter Moon and Jupiter are in Sagittarius. In keeping with the forthright mood induced by this combo, blast your way through the fake news and the endless distraction to the golden thread of truth, speak your mind and then move on. 06.45 The Sun at 7 Pisces waxing semi-square Pluto at 22 Capricorn 11.28 The decelerating Moon is at Last Quarter 12.33 The Moon at 8 Sagittarius waning quincunx Mars at 8 Taurus

Astrological song of the day. Wrong step. Mercury's motion is now less than a degree per day. He turns retrograde in 6 days time. 03.16 The Moon at 16 Sagittarius waning square Neptune at 16 Pisces 04.13 The Sun at 8 Pisces waning septile Uranus at 30 Aries 14.34 The Moon conjunction Jupiter at 22 Sagittarius 18.39 Venus at 28 Capricorn waxing decile Jupiter at 22 Sagittarius 21.20 The Sun at 9 Pisces waxing septile Saturn at 18 Capricorn

Astrological song of the day. Uncle John's band. 01.11 The post last quarter Moon slowly waning at 27 Sagittarius squares slow Mercury at 27 Pisces 02.33 The Sun at 9 Pisces waning sextile Mars at 9 Taurus A harpoon delivery. 06.18 The Moon at 30 Sagittarius waning trine Uranus at 30 Aries, moon void 06.50 The Moon enters Capricorn joining Saturn and Pluto in this sign. The Moon crawls through Capricorn making no aspects today. Hard graft. 'Well the first days are the hardest days, don't you worry anymore'.

Astrological song of the day Salmon song. 'Weird fish' and a lunar occultation of Saturn. Venus squaring Uranus today and then ingressing Aquarius evokes a few surprises and a jumpy rebelliousness followed by a push for coolness and independence. The lunar occultation of Saturn later in the day sounds a note of order and restraint, while it lasts. 02.27 The slowly waning Moon at 10 Capricorn waning trine Mars at 10 Taurus 03.10 The Moon at 10 Capricorn waning sextile The Sun at 10 Pisces 12.32 Venus at 30 Capricorn waning square Uranus at 30 Aries 14.40 The Moon at 16 Capricorn waning sextile Neptune at 16 Pisces 16.47 Venus enters Aquarius. Venus resides in Aquarius for just 26 days as a morning star. The only major aspect she makes is a square to Mars and a sextile to Jupiter both on March 21st. After her recent travails in Capricorn she now has a more open, lighter, freer, less formalised and structured time. A 'taste and try' few weeks is upon us. 'Bulldozing' Mars in Taurus will not respond well to the free spirited Venus in Aquarius. Not so easy for inter gender relationships. A clash of wills inevitable. 18.24 The Moon conjunction and lunar occultation of Saturn at 18 Capricorn

23.29 Mars at 10 Taurus waxing tri-decile Pluto at 22 Capricorn

Astrological song of the day. Quintessence A 'stone ground words' day, practical activities, mending, building, supporting. Then a change from 19.08 GMT as the old Moon takes flight in Aquarius and is conjunct Venus. A pleasant, social, refined vibration ensues. 03.49 The Moon at 22 Capricorn conjunction Pluto at 22 Capricorn 07.41 The Moon at 24 Capricorn opposition the lunar node at 24 Cancer 12.15 The Moon reaches her balsamic phase. The procession to the New Moon now begins in earnest. 12.51 Venus at 1 Aquarius waning semi-square Neptune at 16 Pisces 16.55 The Moon at 29 Capricorn waning sextile Mercury at 29 Pisces 18.48 The Moon at 30 Capricorn waning square Uranus at 30 Aries, moon void 19.08 The Moon enters Aquarius joining Venus in this sign. 22.03 The Moon at 1 Aquarius conjunction Venus at 1 Aquarius 23.45 The Sun at 12 Pisces waxing bi-novile Jupiter at 22 Sagittarius

Astrological song of the day. Good vibrations. 12.29 Venus at 2 Aquarius waxing novile Jupiter at 22 Sagittarius 18.54 The very slow balsamic Moon at 12 Aquarius waning square Mars at 12 Taurus

Astrological song of the day. New age girl. Mercury is now very slow, in dreamy Pisces, prior to his station tomorrow. Stillness of mind can easily be achieved at such a time. Venus is cool, open to new experiences and a little remote in Aquarius. Mars is emphatically bulldozing his way through Taurus, getting really stuck in. We stand on the cusp of Uranus entering Taurus and a watery New Moon, poised for change. 11.27 The Moon is at apogee (conjunct Black Moon Lilith), slowest and furthest from the Earth all month. 16.31 The Moon at 22 Aquarius waxing sextile Jupiter at 22 Sagittarius 18.10 The Sun at 14 Pisces waxing septile Pluto at 23 Capricorn

Astrological tune of the day. Albatross. From 08:12 GMT Tuesday a very dreamy day. Just drift, like the music. Old Moon submission, piscean faith, yielding, peace. As ever watch out for the sharks, the stingrays, the fish with teeth. Mercury appears stationary, hovering, treading water and then turning. Profoundly sublime. 08.06 The Moon at 30 Aquarius waning sextile Uranus at 30 Aries, moon void 08.12 The Moon enters Pisces joining the Sun, Mercury and Neptune in this sign. 18:20 MERCURY TURNS RETROGRADE at 30 degrees Pisces. 20.39 The Sun at 15 Pisces waning semi-square Uranus at 30 Aries

Astrological song of the day Firestarter 02.09 The Sun at 15 Pisces waxing novile Venus at 5 Aquarius 08.29 Uranus enters Taurus Here we are again on a New Moon day, on the cusp of a momentous change in the geocentric solar system. Uranus, the planet of inspiration and revolution today enters Taurus the sign of enduring institution and banking. Uranus remains in Taurus for 7 years. Massive changes in the world of finance and ownership are about to take place. The last time Uranus resided in Taurus was between 1934 and 1941 and before that 1850 to 1859 the time of the Industrial Revolution. The 1934 ingress saw the start of the rise of Nazi Germany and witnessed Hitler (a Taurean) beginning 11 years as dictator of the German Reich. This was the time of the genocide of more than 9 million European Jews, it was also the time of the the beginning of the rise of the USA as a superpower. Today should be regarded as solemn moment in our lives as we, the whole human family, start to react and reorganize ourselves to the impulse of the latest cosmic signature of this 84 year cyclic event. 11.26 The Moon at 13 Pisces waning sextile Mars at 13 Taurus 16.05 Moment of NEW MOON conjunct Neptune, sextile Mars, sextile Saturn. This is the second New Moon following the Partial Solar Eclipse at 15 degrees Capricorn on January 6th 2019 and it is the 4th New Moon before the Total Solar Eclipse on July 2nd 2019 at 11 degrees Cancer. This is a remarkable lunation. Mercury has just turned retrograde, Uranus has just entered a 7 year residence in Taurus, today's New Moon is conjunct Neptune in Pisces sextile Mars on one hand and sextile Saturn on the other. Mutable Water and Earth predominate. This is a time of passive, dreamy, submissive, floating, 'letting go' energy, where fantasy, imagination, poetry, healing and music flow freely. The negative aspect of all this watery fluid energy is slime. Watch out for the sharks, the slippery eels, the sucking swamp. At the exact moment of New Moon, the Sun, Moon and Neptune culminate at Georgetown (Guyana), set at Brest (Belarus), true midnight is at Shanghai, Neptune culminates at Asuncion, it is high Noon at Buenos Aires. Today's New Moon is closely conjunct the MC of Turkey, the Saturn of Pope Francis, the Mars of David Beckham and of Elton John, the Sun of David Gilmour, the MC of Cher. The New Moon opposes the Uranus and Pluto of President Assad. 16.48 The Moon at 16 Pisces conjunction Neptune at 16 Pisces 20.59 The Moon at 18 Pisces waxing sextile Saturn at 18 Capricorn 21.18 Venus at 6 Aquarius waning novile Neptune at 16 Pisces

Astrological tune of the day. Rossini. New Moon energy ripples through the ecosphere. All very sensitive and impressionable. A shift has occurred, Mercury is now retrograde and Uranus is now in Taurus. It takes a little while to learn how to respond. 01.01 The Sun at 16 Pisces conjunction Neptune at 16 Pisces 05.38 The tiny baby new Moon at 23 Pisces waxing square Jupiter at 23 Sagittarius 05.42 The Moon at 23 Pisces waxing sextile Pluto at 23 Capricorn 08.44 The Moon at 24 Pisces trines her node from north of the ecliptic. 16.32 Jupiter at 23 Sagittarius waning semi-sextile Pluto at 23 Capricorn This aspect is one of 3 (March 7th, May 9th, and 17th Oct 2019) in the 13 year Jupiter/Pluto synodic cycle . The cycle started in Dec 2007 in late Sagittarius, peaked in 2013/2014 across Cancer Capricorn and ends in 2020 with a triple conjunction in Capricorn. The semi-sextile in this 'power and vision' cycle symbolises a 'last judgment'. Final musings before the new cycle starting next year. 18.19 Retro-Mercury at 29 Pisces waning semi-square Mars at 14 Taurus 19.09 The Moon conjunction Retro-Mercury at 29 Pisces, moon void 20.29 The Moon enters Aries, initiating a new rush of life force.

Astrological song of the day. Times square. The young Moon is now in Aries. A measure of direct urgency is evident. Seize the moment, push the switch, experience the head rush. 03.16 Venus at 8 Aquarius waxing semi-square Jupiter at 23 Sagittarius 06.57 Retro-Mercury at 29 Pisces waxing septile Venus at 8 Aquarius 12.30 The very young, very slow, accelerating Moon at 8 Aries waxing sextile Venus at 8 Aquarius

Astrological song of the day. Electric dreams. The transiting lunar node is opposite Pluto across Cancer and Capricorn this month. The opposition occurs every 18 years but in these signs, (with Pluto in Capricorn), it last occurred at the start of the year 1777. The American War of Independence was raging at the time. Today the Moon squares the current opposition maybe giving us a glimpse of the meaning of its symbolism. I tend to think of a 'fall from power' or a 'snake in the grass' are apt interpretations. A competitive atmosphere prevails after a reasonably practical start to the (GMT) day. 07.11 The Sun at 18 Pisces waxing sextile Saturn at 18 Capricorn 08.45 The Moon at 18 Aries waxing square Saturn at 18 Capricorn 16:00 to 20:00 A Cardinal 'T' square forms involving the Moon, her node and Pluto. 16.57 The Moon at 23 Aries waxing square Pluto at 23 Capricorn 17.15 The Moon at 23 Aries waxing trine Jupiter at 23 Sagittarius. The Moon is then void of course for 14 hours. 19.32 The Moon at 24 Aries waning squares her node from south of the ecliptic

Astrological song of the day. Anything so bright. Josefin Ohrn Quite beautiful. The young Moon is conjunct Uranus in Taurus today and Mars sextiles Neptune. Dreams, and nightmares, made real. A potentially gentle, passive, tactile, sensual, 'arty' astrological vibration ensues today replacing the 'head butting' of the last couple of days. 06.24 Venus at 10 Aquarius waning bi-novile Uranus at zero Taurus 07.11 The young Moon gaining in light and motion enters Taurus 07.31 The Moon at zero Taurus conjunction Uranus at zero Taurus 08.36 Venus at 10 Aquarius waning decile Neptune at 16 Pisces 16.21 Mars at 16 Taurus waxing sextile Neptune at 16 Pisces 16.24 The Moon reaches her waxing crescent phase.

Astrological song of the day. Set the controls. The Moon is conjunct Mars in Taurus today. Persistent application of effort. Staying power, endurance. 02.17 The Sun at 20 Pisces waning novile Uranus at zero Taurus 04.45 The waxing crescent Moon accelerating at 11 Taurus waxing square Venus at 11 Aquarius 14.18 The Moon at 16 Taurus waxing sextile Neptune at 16 Pisces 15.27 The Moon conjunction Mars at 17 Taurus 16.32 Mars at 17 Taurus waxing biquintile Jupiter at 23 Sagittarius 18.35 The Moon at 19 Taurus waxing trine Saturn at 19 Capricorn 20.11 Retro-Mercury at 27 Pisces waxing semi-square Venus at 12 Aquarius 23.14 The Moon at 21 Taurus waxing sextile The Sun at 21 Pisces State of the sky:- Today the Sun is at 20 degrees Pisces. Retrograde Mercury and Neptune are also in Pisces. The Moon and Mars and Uranus are in Taurus. Saturn and Pluto are in Capricorn. There is an excess of 8 bodies in Earth and in Water signs. The time is fertile, the waters are muddied. There are 10 days to the Vernal Equinox. We have left the recent eclipse season. The transiting lunar node is opposite Pluto across Cancer and Capricorn this month. The opposition occurs every 18 years but in these signs, (with Pluto in Capricorn), it last occurred at the start of the year 1777. The American War of Independence was raging at the time. I tend to think of a 'fall from power' or a 'snake in the grass' are apt interpretations. Mercury is in Pisces as a retrograde evening star. Mercury has a lengthy 65 day residence in Pisces this year due to his retrograde motion. He entered his shadow on Feb 20th, and turned retrograde at 29 Pisces on March 5th. He is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun at 24 Pisces on March 15th. As a morning star he again squares Jupiter, sextiles Pluto, sextiles Saturn from March 15th to 20th and is conjunct Neptune a second time on March 24th at 17 Pisces. Mercury turns direct at 16 Pisces on March 28th. He is conjunct Neptune a final time on April 2nd, sextiles Saturn, Pluto and squares Jupiter from April 7th to 12th having regained a degree per day by then. Mercury leaves his shadow and enters Aries on April 17th. The emphasis of the complete residence is the conjunction with Neptune. Emphatic lessons to be learnt regarding faith, vulnerability and self undoing. This is a very inspiring period and will witness a lot of changes of current and direction. Venus is a direct morning star in Aquarius. The only major aspects she makes are a square to Mars and a sextile to Jupiter both on March 21st. After her recent travails in Capricorn she now has a more open, lighter, freer, less formalised and structured time. A 'taste and try' few weeks is upon us. 'Bulldozing' Mars in Taurus will not respond well to the free spirited Venus in Aquarius. Not so easy for inter gender relationships. A clash of wills is inevitable. Mars is in Taurus. Mars in Taurus adds patience, stability and strength to undertakings. Mars trines Saturn with productive industry, on March 14th. Mercury sextiles Mars on March 18th, with nimble dexterity, Mars trines Pluto with sheer will, effort and power, on March 20th. Venus squares Mars with disharmonious passion, on March 21st. Mars enters Gemini on March 31st. What is made during this period is built to last. Get stuck in. Jupiter is in Sagittarius. This is a visionary time. The motivation here is a need to move, to grow, to seek freedom, to expand and to 'open up'. Optimism, energy, forthrightness, faith in the future and expression of adventure are the hallmarks of the residence. Jupiter made a waning square to Neptune, Jan 13th 2019, others follow on June 16th 2019 and Sept 21st 2019. This is the only major aspect of the residence and suggests a 'delusional unreal glamorous accompaniment' to this essentially jovial component of the nature of the skies in the year ahead. With Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, Jupiter in Sagittarius adds wit and wonderment before the inevitable astrological maelstrom of 2020 when he joins the two heavy weights in the sign of the goat. Jupiter is all the time moving towards the 2020 union with Saturn and Pluto in the last decan of Capricorn. Jupiter then moves on to conjunct Neptune at 24 degrees Pisces in 2022. The Grand Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurs on the Winter Solstice 2020. This will be a 'mutation conjunction'. It is the first of an unbroken series of Jupiter Saturn conjunctions in Air signs which extend till around 2140. Since 1840 all the Jupiter Saturn conjunctions have been in Earth signs, with the exception of the 1980-1981 triple conjunction. Jupiter turns retrograde on April 10th at 24 Sagittarius. Saturn is direct in Capricorn. The energy of Saturn in this sign is dense, practical, realistic, industrious on a huge scale, formative, establishing and sustaining. Saturn was last in Capricorn between 1988 and 1991. During the residence Saturn will sextile Neptune in Pisces three times during 2019, 31st Jan, 18th June and Nov 9th. All world religions may face serious issues of faith, science and political change during these times. Saturn will conjunct the dragon's tail (lunar descending node) in 2019 demanding a karmic debt be paid. The most important aspect however is Saturn conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. The are warlike connotations with this symbolism, this is a danger zone. The last time these two astrological heavy weights meet in Capricorn was in 1518, and before that in 1248. We are dealing here with 'forces majeure'. Saturn remains in Capricorn till Feb 17th 2020. Uranus the planet of inspiration and revolution is in Taurus the sign of enduring institution and banking. Uranus remains in Taurus for 7 years. Massive changes in the world of finance and ownership are about to take place. The last time Uranus resided in Taurus was between 1934 and 1941 and before that 1850 to 1859 the time of the Industrial Revolution. The 1934 ingress saw the start of the rise of Nazi Germany and witnessed Hitler (a Taurean) beginning 11 years as dictator of the German Reich. This was the time of the genocide of more than 9 million European Jews, it was also the time of the the beginning of the rise of the USA as a superpower. Today should be regarded as solemn moment in our lives as we, the whole human family, start to react and reorganize ourselves to the impulse of the latest cosmic signature of this 84 year cyclic event. Neptune is now direct in Pisces he has been in this sign since 2011. Neptune in Pisces is symbolic of the greatest watery immersion in the deepest subliminal and spiritual ocean. Neptune is in its own sign of Pisces, a transit that only occurs every 165 years. Neptune rules Pisces and also rules the deepest realms of the subconscious mind. The oceanic vibration of love is flowing with a deeper and higher frequency. Our human mission is to flow with it. Art, music and science are enhanced with the progress of this residence. The blue hair we see these days is very Neptune in Pisces. Neptune will turn retrograde at 19 degrees Pisces on June 21 2019. Neptune enters Aries on March 30th 2025. Pluto is now direct in Capricorn approaching 22 degrees of that sign. Only 4 degrees now separate Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. Saturn is conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. This is the 'serious zone'. The following astrological heavyweight event, later on in 2020, is the 'Grand Conjunction' of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurring on the Winter Solstice of that year, beckoning to a healthier 'New Age Feeling' just a little way beyond. Pluto enters Aquarius on March 23rd 2023. The next eclipse is a Total Solar Eclipse (passing through South America) on July 2nd 2019 at 11 Cancer (weakly opposite Saturn), followed by a Partial Lunar Eclipse (conjunct Pluto) at 24 Capricorn on July 16th 2019.

The transiting lunar node is opposite Pluto across Cancer and Capricorn this month. The opposition occurs every 18 years but in these signs, (with Pluto in Capricorn), it last occurred at the start of the year 1777. The American War of Independence was raging at the time. I tend to think of a 'fall from power' or a 'snake in the grass' are apt interpretations. Mercury is in Pisces as a retrograde morning star. Mercury has a lengthy 65 day residence in Pisces this year due to his retrograde motion. He entered his shadow on Feb 20th, and turned retrograde at 29 Pisces on March 5th.

Mercury turns direct at 16 Pisces on March 28th. He is conjunct Neptune a final time on April 2nd, sextiles Saturn, Pluto and squares Jupiter from April 7th to 12th having regained a degree per day by then. Mercury leaves his shadow and enters Aries on April 17th. The emphasis of the complete residence is the conjunction with Neptune. Emphatic lessons to be learnt regarding faith, vulnerability and self undoing. This is a very inspiring period and will witness a lot of changes of current and direction.

Astrological song of the day. Spellbound. Today is the last full day of the astrological month of Pisces. The fast moving, almost full, Virgo Moon whips us up to productivity, methodology and jobs of work. Lunar pressures are rising. Retro-Mercury is applying to sextile Saturn which is very much about 'picking up stitches', repairing and reorganising plans in the light of developments. Work on what is spoilt. The Vernal Equinox is tomorrow. 01.43 The waxing gibbous Moon enters Virgo. 02.40 The Moon at 1 Virgo waxing trine Uranus at 1 Taurus 19.58 The Moon is at perigee, fastest and nearest to the Earth all month.

Astrological song of the day.

The Sun crosses the celestial equator and enters tropical Aries. Day and night are balanced around the entire planet. We are launched into spring in the northern hemisphere and in the south it is the start of autumn. This equinox occurs 3 hours and 43 minutes before a dynamic and climaxing Full Moon. Mercury is retrograde sextile Saturn applying conjunct Neptune. Mars is square Venus and trine Pluto. The astrological symbolism of this equinox is strong and emphatic. A predominance of planets in Earth signs foretells a strong presence of destiny, hard hitting far reaching events and pronounced experiences. This one has hard core astrology. I wish all 'Daze readers' old and new, a happy equinox. Stay tuned to the Daze. The night of the Full Moon is upon us. Sacred hours ensue.

Astrological song of the day. hurdy gurdy glissano I wish all 'Daze readers' old and new, a happy equinox. The night of the Full Moon is upon us. Sacred hours ensue. 01.30 The Moon enters Libra 01.43 Moment of FULL MOON (quincunx Uranus) Today's Full Moon is the second following on from the Total Lunar Eclipse on January 21st 2019 at zero Leo and the 4th Full Moon before the Partial Lunar Eclipse on July 16th 2019 at 24 Capricorn. The Full Moon is tightly quincunx Uranus which essentially knocks the libran scales, and the potential equanimity of this lunation, 'off balance'. This is certainly a social event but there are elements of dissatisfaction with the status quo and a need for change. These elements push against the grain of the inherent harmony of 'Moon in Libra'. Venus is square Mars at this time adding to the discord, although she also makes a sextile to Jupiter which offers magnanimousness, and Mercury is retrograding into the arms of Neptune infusing a degree of confusion and 'otherworldliness' into the atmosphere. The tight Venus Jupiter sextile forms a tight yod pattern with the lunar node, and another tight yod is manifest with the focus on Jupiter being quincunx to both Mars and the lunar node. This is an interesting and dynamic Full Moon and there is a lot going on. At the exact moment of Full Moon 01.43 GMT Jupiter rises at London and at Recife, where Mercury and Neptune are at lower culmination. The Pluto Lunar node opposition, significant at this time, is aligned to San Salvador, New Orleans, Lagos and Dacca. The Full Moon culminates at Reykjavik, Mercury at Melbourne and Uranus sets at Washington DC. Today's Full Moon hits the Mars of Germany, and that of Indonesia, the ascendant of Russia, (1991 chart), the Sun of Bruce Springsteen, the Mercury of Seb Coe, the Saturn of Gordon Brown, the Uranus of the Cate Blanchett and Jacob Rees Mogg generation, the Neptune of the Mick Jagger and John Humphry's generation and the Pluto of the Cameron Diaz generation.

Astrological song of the day. And you tried so hard. We are now for the second time this month subject to transiting Mercury conjunct Neptune, exact today. This time Mercury is retrograde. The current retrograde period of Mercury is dominated by his triple encounter with Neptune at 17 Pisces, and this very much explains the confusion around the entire UK Brexit process at this time. Currently Neptune is square the UK (1801 chart) Mercury at 17 Sagittarius. This influence of confusion extends into early 2020. The May Government chart (June 9th 2017) has a mutable cross in this degree area (16-18 degrees of the mutables)and is also beguiled by Neptune at this time. In addition transiting Saturn is opposite the UK Moon (April 15th, June 6th and Dec 14th) burdening the collective mood of the populace with frustration. PM Theresa May has been subject to Neptune conjunct her Mars over the past 2 years and now is experiencing Neptune opposite her Jupiter. Her progressed Moon may be also tied into this picture. 06.51 The decelerating waning Moon at 17 Scorpio trine Neptune at 17 Pisces 07.10 The Moon at 17 Scorpio waning trine retro-Mercury at 17 Pisces 09.43 The Moon reaches her disseminating phase 11.26 The Moon at 19 Scorpio waning sextile Saturn at 19 Capricorn 17.28 Mercury conjunction Neptune at 17 Pisces 17.31 The Moon at 23 Scorpio waning sextile Pluto at 23 Capricorn 17.59 The Moon at 23 Scorpio trines her node from north of the ecliptic. 22:00 to 03:00 tomorrow. A Fixed 'T' square forms involving the Moon, Venus and Mars. 22.38 The Moon at 26 Scorpio opposition Mars at 26 Taurus. There is a 'Mystic rectangle' manifest at the time of this opposition involving the Moon, Mars, the lunar node and Pluto.

Astrological tune of the day. Embryonic journey. Retrograde Mercury remains within a degree of Neptune in Pisces over the next 11 days continuing to cast a beguiling oceanic mist of confusion over all events. There have been two conjunctions of these two planets since mid February, and the third conjunction of Mercury and Neptune on April 3rd is the tightest. This entire period is witnessing a huge force of sublimation and dissolution at work with ramifications in all event. Large scale disaster flooding in south east Africa, tumultuous seas and ship rescues off the Norwegian coast and of course the swampy mire of Brexit. This is what is going on right now, a prolonged Mercury neptune conjunction in Pisces. 02.24 The decelerating balsamic Moon at 28 Scorpio waning square Venus at 28 Aquarius, moon void 06.08 The Moon enters Sagittarius joining Jupiter in this sign. 07.47 The Moon at 1 Sagittarius waning quincunx Uranus at 1 Taurus 14.31 The Moon at 5 Sagittarius waning trine The Sun at 5 Aries 21.21 The Sun at 5 Aries waxing quintile Pluto at 23 Capricorn 22.27 Venus at 29 Aquarius waxing decile Pluto at 23 Capricorn Today the Sun is at 4 degrees Aries. Retrograde Mercury and Neptune are in Pisces. Mars and Uranus are in Taurus. Saturn and Pluto are in Capricorn. There are 86 days to the Solstice. We are approaching the midway point between eclipse seasons. The transiting lunar node is opposite Pluto across Cancer and Capricorn right now. The opposition occurs every 18 years but in these signs, (with Pluto in Capricorn), it last occurred at the start of the year 1777. The American War of Independence was raging at the time.

Saturn is direct in Capricorn. The energy of Saturn in this sign is dense, practical, realistic, industrious on a huge scale, formative, establishing and sustaining. Saturn was last in Capricorn between 1988 and 1991. During the residence Saturn will sextile Neptune in Pisces three times during 2019, 31st Jan, 18th June and Nov 9th. All world religions may face serious issues of faith, science and political change during these times. Saturn will conjunct the dragon's tail (lunar descending node) in 2019 demanding a karmic debt be paid. The most important aspect however is Saturn conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. The are warlike connotations with this symbolism, this is a danger zone. The last time these two astrological heavy weights meet in Capricorn was in 1518, and before that in 1248. We are dealing here with 'forces majeure'. Saturn remains in Capricorn till Feb 17th 2020. Uranus the planet of inspiration and revolution is in Taurus the sign of enduring institution and banking. Uranus remains in Taurus for 7 years. Massive changes in the world of finance and ownership are about to take place. The last time Uranus resided in Taurus was between 1934 and 1941 and before that 1850 to 1859 the time of the Industrial Revolution. The 1934 ingress saw the start of the rise of Nazi Germany and witnessed Hitler (a Taurean) beginning 11 years as dictator of the German Reich. This was the time of the genocide of more than 9 million European Jews, it was also the time of the the beginning of the rise of the USA as a superpower. Today should be regarded as solemn moment in our lives as we, the whole human family, start to react and reorganize ourselves to the impulse of the latest cosmic signature of this 84 year cyclic event. Neptune is now direct in Pisces he has been in this sign since 2011. Neptune in Pisces is symbolic of the greatest watery immersion in the deepest subliminal and spiritual ocean. Neptune is in its own sign of Pisces, a transit that only occurs every 165 years. Neptune rules Pisces and also rules the deepest realms of the subconscious mind. The oceanic vibration of love is flowing with a deeper and higher frequency. Our human mission is to flow with it. Art, music and science are enhanced with the progress of this residence. The blue hair we see these days is very Neptune in Pisces. Neptune will turn retrograde at 19 degrees Pisces on June 21 2019. Neptune enters Aries on March 30th 2025. Pluto is now direct in Capricorn approaching 22 degrees of that sign. Only 4 degrees now separate Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. Saturn is conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. This is the 'serious zone'. The following astrological heavyweight event, later on in 2020, is the 'Grand Conjunction' of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurring on the Winter Solstice of that year, beckoning to a healthier 'New Age Feeling' just a little way beyond. Pluto enters Aquarius on March 23rd 2023. The next eclipse is a Total Solar Eclipse (passing through South America) on July 2nd 2019 at 11 Cancer (weakly opposite Saturn), followed by a Partial Lunar Eclipse (conjunct Pluto) at 24 Capricorn on July 16th 2019.

Venus leaves Pisces for Aries on April 20th. There is a softer vibration in the atmosphere with this ingress. A touch of forgiveness, a yearning for union. The Moon is applying to a close conjunction to Jupiter as the GMT day end.

Astrological song of the day At the gates of silent memory. Venus in Pisces sextile Uranus in Taurus. A ripple of unlooked for affection evokes a deep response.

Astrological song of the day. Speed you love to me. Mercury is now direct and again inching very slowly towards his 3rd, tightest, and final conjunction with Neptune next Tuesday. The old moon conjuncts them both on Wednesday. The days ahead are shrouded in fathomless dissolution and disorientation but progress can soon be discerned. The New Moon is next Friday after which the way ahead will seem clearer. Firstly however we have a lunar occultation of Saturn to negotiate. 04:14 Close conjunction the Moon and Saturn (0.66 degrees) 05.01 The decelerating last quarter Moon conjunction Saturn at 20 Capricorn.

Astrological song of the day. Sowing the seeds. The old slow Moon is today decelerating in Aquarius. Cool, detached, unassuming projections. 06.14 Mars enters Gemini and resides there for 46 days. It is personally always a relief when Mars leaves Taurus and his assertive energy becomes a little freer and diverse than that of the entrenched heavy duty vibe of Mars in Taurus. This time he squares Neptune on April 27th, which undermines and is potentially underhand. He is sextiled by Mercury on May day which stimulatingly cerebral and opposes Jupiter on May 5th which is excessive. He enters Cancer on May 16th. 23.23 Venus at 6 Pisces waxing quintile Jupiter at 24 Sagittarius

Astrological song of the day. Blue Monday April starts with Pluto still conjunct the Serpent's Tail. I still see this as a 'fall from power'. Mercury is falling into the deep bosom of Neptune, closest tomorrow. A deep and mysterious force field envelopes all our minds at this time. invoking much uncertainty and confusion. Inspiration however is not so far behind. Although the Sun is in Aries, these days are not typical Aries territory. The ocean of Piscean energy at work is overwhelming the natural libido of the Ram. These are days of great inner development. 00.10 The Moon is at apogee (conjunct Black Moon Lilith), slowest and furthest from the Earth all month. 03.02 The Moon at 24 Aquarius waxing sextile Jupiter at 24 Sagittarius, moon void 07.15 The Moon reaches her balsamic phase. The procession to the New Moon now begins in earnest. 14.50 The Moon ingress Pisces joining Mercury, Venus and Neptune in this sign. The astrological energy from this point becomes even more deep, subliminal and sensitive. 16.45 The Moon at 1 Pisces waning square Mars at 1 Gemini 17.30 The Moon at 1 Pisces waning sextile Uranus at 1 Taurus State of the sky:- Today the Sun is at 11 degrees Aries. Mercury, Venus and Neptune are in Pisces. Mars and Uranus are in Taurus. Saturn and Pluto are in Capricorn. There are 79 days to the Solstice. We are midway between eclipse seasons. Mercury is now direct and again inching very slowly towards his 3rd, tightest, and final conjunction with Neptune tomorrow. The old moon conjuncts them both on Wednesday. The days ahead are shrouded in fathomless dissolution and disorientation but progress can soon be discerned. The New Moon is next Friday after which the way ahead will seem clearer. The transiting lunar node is opposite Pluto across Cancer and Capricorn right now. The opposition occurs every 18 years but in these signs, (with Pluto in Capricorn), it last occurred at the start of the year 1777. The American War of Independence was raging at the time. I tend to think of a 'fall from power' or a 'snake in the grass' are apt interpretations. Mercury is in Pisces as a direct morning star. Mercury has a lengthy 65 day residence in Pisces this year due to his recent retrograde motion. He entered his shadow on Feb 20th, and turned retrograde at 29 Pisces on March 5th. He was at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun at 24 Pisces on March 15th. As a morning star he was conjunct Neptune a second time on March 24th at 17 Pisces. Mercury turned direct at 16 Pisces on March 28th. He is conjunct Neptune a final time tomorrow, sextiles Saturn, Pluto and squares Jupiter from April 7th to 12th having regained a degree per day by then. Mercury leaves his shadow and enters Aries on April 17th. The emphasis of the complete residence is the conjunction with Neptune. Emphatic lessons to be learnt regarding faith, vulnerability and self undoing. This is a very inspiring period and will witness a lot of changes of current and direction. Venus is a morning star in Pisces. Her agenda here is to bestow sweetness and light. She is conjunct Neptune at 17 Pisces on April 10th, the highlight of the residence, and rich in universal love, faith and sacrifice. She sextiles Saturn on April 12th, offering support, sextiles Pluto on April 14th, offering submission, and squares Jupiter, with extravagances on April 15th. Venus leaves Pisces for Aries on April 20th. There is a softer vibration in the atmosphere with this ingress. A touch of forgiveness, a yearning for union. Mars is in Gemini and resides there for 46 days. He squares Neptune on April 27th, which undermines and is potentially underhand. He is sextiled by Mercury on May day which stimulatingly cerebral and opposes Jupiter on May 5th which is excessive. He enters Cancer on May 16th. The assertive energy of Mars is now free and diverse. Jupiter is in Sagittarius. This is a visionary time. The motivation here is a need to move, to grow, to seek freedom, to expand and to 'open up'. Optimism, energy, forthrightness, faith in the future and expression of adventure are the hallmarks of the residence. Jupiter made a waning square to Neptune, Jan 13th 2019, others follow on June 16th 2019 and Sept 21st 2019. This is the only major aspect of the residence and suggests a 'delusional unreal glamorous accompaniment' to this essentially jovial component of the nature of the skies in the year ahead. With Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, Jupiter in Sagittarius adds wit and wonderment before the inevitable astrological maelstrom of 2020 when he joins the two heavy weights in the sign of the goat. Jupiter is all the time moving towards the 2020 union with Saturn and Pluto in the last decan of Capricorn. Jupiter then moves on to conjunct Neptune at 24 degrees Pisces in 2022. The Grand Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurs on the Winter Solstice 2020. This will be a 'mutation conjunction'. It is the first of an unbroken series of Jupiter Saturn conjunctions in Air signs which extend till around 2140.

Astrological song of the day. May this be love I'm with you always You're ever on my mind In a light to last a whole life through Each way I turn the sense of you surrounds in every step I take In all I do Your thoughts your schemes captivate my dreams Everlasting, ever new Sea returns to sea And sky to sky In a life of dream am I When I'm with you Patti Smith A dream boat of a day.

Astrological song of the day. The inner light. A deep 'watery' triple conjunction of the Moon, Mercury and Neptune occurs in the early hours (GMT). This is the climax of the current 'wave of absorbing and dissolving piscean energy'. Today the wave breaks with a prolonged surge of emotional, instinctive and self repressive responses. 01.25 The very slowly waning balsamic Moon conjunction Neptune at 17 Pisces 01.59 The Moon conjunction Mercury at 17 Pisces 02.04 The Sun at 13 Aries waxing bi-novile Pluto at 23 Capricorn 06.59 The Moon at 20 Pisces waxing sextile Saturn at 20 Capricorn 12.25 The Moon at 23 Pisces trines her node from south of the ecliptic 13.10 The Moon at 23 Pisces waxing sextile Pluto at 23 Capricorn 15.36 The Moon at 24 Pisces waxing square Jupiter at 24 Sagittarius, moon void. The old Moon, drifting rudderless, is then void of course for nearly 11 hours.

Astrological tune of the day. Dueling Banjos From 02:58 GMT today a potent old Moon in Aries inflamed with impetus, vision and prophesy slowly accelerates towards her new phase on Friday infusing our spirits with the sense that we are on the verge of new beginnings. The mists and twists of recent weeks will soon be burnt away. 02.58 The slow and very ancient Moon ingresses Aries joining the Sun in this sign. 03.40 Venus at 10 Pisces waning septile Uranus at 1 Taurus 08.17 The Moon at 3 Aries waning sextile Mars at 3 Gemini The Moon now has an unobstructed road to her new phase tomorrow.

Astrological song of the day. SOS 06.06 Venus at 11 Pisces waxing septile Saturn at 20 Capricorn 08.51 Moment of NEW MOON square Saturn. This is the third New Moon following the Partial Solar Eclipse at 15 degrees Capricorn on January 6th 2019 and it is the 3rd New Moon before the Total Solar Eclipse on July 2nd 2019 at 11 degrees Cancer. We are midway between eclipse seasons. This New Moon is characterised by the conjunction of Saturn and Pluto opposite the lunar node. We are dealing here with enforced endings and removals. The New Moon itself squares this opposition which makes this a New Moon of severing ties and striking off on new paths. This is potentially brave and and a little reckless. There is little fixity right now but a lot of change and initiation. Lots of false starts I guess. At the exact moment of New Moon the Moon culminates at Dhahran, Mercury culminates at Athens, Mercury and Neptune set at Ulan Bator, Neptune rises at Caracas, Mercury rises at La Paz, Jupiter rises at Vancouver. Today's New Moon is opposite the USA Saturn. It is conjunct the Neptune of Canada, the Jupiter of Spain (very tightly), the Uranus of the Sean Connery generation, the Jupiter of Jamie Oliver and Tiger Woods, the Mercury of Joanna Lumley and Lily Allen. Today is the birthday of Colin Powell, Agnetha Faltskog and Janice Long. In the evening (GMT) of this day the Moon now squares the opposition of Saturn/Pluto and the Lunar Node. Not the smoothest of rides, but it could end well. 18.02 The Moon at 20 Aries waxing square Saturn at 20 Capricorn 22.51 The Moon at 23 Aries waning square the lunar node at 23 Cancer 23.51 The Moon at 23 Aries waxing square Pluto at 23 Capricorn

Gather together what feels comfortable to the senses. Centre yourself. Earth yourself. 16.10 The Moon conjunction Uranus at 2 Taurus 19.18 Mars at 4 Gemini waxing quad-novile Jupiter at 24 Sagittarius

Astrological song of the day. Epitaph A 'steady as she goes' sort of day with the young Moon slowly accelerating in Taurus. Mercury will be back up to speed by next Friday and today he makes a constructive and sober sextile to Saturn. Venus makes a sweet and transcendental conjunction to Neptune on Wednesday. The confusing mists of recent weeks are starting to dissolve. 09.18 Mercury at 20 Pisces waxing sextile Saturn at 20 Capricorn 10.11 The Sun at 17 Aries waxing semi-sextile Neptune at 17 Pisces 16.05 The young Moon at 14 Taurus waxing sextile Venus at 14 Pisces 17.14 Venus at 14 Pisces waxing bi-novile Jupiter at 24 Sagittarius 18.58 Venus at 14 Pisces waxing septile Pluto at 23 Capricorn 21.47 The Moon at 17 Taurus waxing sextile Neptune at 17 Pisces

There are 72 days to the Solstice. We are midway between eclipse seasons.

Astrological song of the day. I've seen all good people Two astrological waves crashing. The Sun, the lunar node, Saturn and Pluto form a Cardinal T square from 9th to 15th April. This coming week brings an impulse for development and change. Organisation, transformation, severance and association are all in motion. Quite serious stuff. The other wave is Venus conjunct Neptune in Pisces on Wednesday, more personal, adding an ocean of love and surrender to the mix. Today there is more than a bit of a buzz, right from the start. 04.42 The Moon reaches her waxing crescent phase 08.16 The accelerating Moon conjunction Mars at 6 Gemini 10.05 Mercury at 22 Pisces waning novile Uranus at 2 Taurus 17.39 Venus at 17 Pisces waning semi-square Uranus at 2 Taurus

Astrological song of the day. No woman no cry. Today the accelerating waxing Moon joins in with the ongoing Cardinal T square (Sun, Saturn, Pluto, Lunar Node), as she crosses her ascending node.

Mercury, Venus and Neptune are in Pisces. Saturn and Pluto are in Capricorn. There are 65 days to the Solstice. We are midway between eclipse seasons. Mercury is in Pisces as a direct morning star. Mercury has a lengthy 65 day residence in Pisces this year due to his recent retrograde motion. Mercury turned direct at 16 Pisces on March 28th. He will regained a degree per day motion on April 12th and he leaves his shadow and enters Aries on Wednesday. The emphasis of Mercury's complete residence in Pisces has been the triple conjunction with Neptune. Emphatic lessons have been learnt regarding faith, vulnerability and self undoing. Venus is a morning star in Pisces. Her agenda here is to bestow sweetness and light. She squares Jupiter, with extravagances today. Venus leaves Pisces for Aries on April 20th. There is a softer vibration in the atmosphere with this ingress. A touch of forgiveness, a yearning for union. Mars is in Gemini and resides there for 46 days. He squares Neptune on April 27th, which undermines and is potentially underhand. He is sextiled by Mercury on May day which stimulatingly cerebral and opposes Jupiter on May 5th which is excessive. He enters Cancer on May 16th. The assertive energy of Mars is now free and diverse. Jupiter is retrograde in Sagittarius. This is a visionary time. The motivation here is a need to move, to grow, to seek freedom, to expand and to 'open up'. Optimism, energy, forthrightness, faith in the future and expression of adventure are the hallmarks of the residence. Jupiter is retrograde in 2019 from April 10 to August 11. Jupiter made a waning square to Neptune, Jan 13th 2019, others follow on June 16th 2019 and Sept 21st 2019. This is the only major aspect of the residence and suggests a 'delusional unreal glamorous accompaniment' to this essentially jovial component of the nature of the skies in the year ahead. With Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, Jupiter in Sagittarius adds wit and wonderment before the inevitable astrological maelstrom of 2020 when he joins the two heavy weights in the sign of the goat. Jupiter is all the time moving towards the 2020 union with Saturn and Pluto in the last decan of Capricorn. Jupiter then moves on to conjunct Neptune at 24 degrees Pisces in 2022. The Grand Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurs on the Winter Solstice 2020. This will be a 'mutation conjunction'. It is the first of an unbroken series of Jupiter Saturn conjunctions in Air signs which extend till around 2140. Since 1840 all the Jupiter Saturn conjunctions have been in Earth signs, with the exception of the 1980-1981 triple conjunction. Jupiter turns retrograde on April 10th at 24 Sagittarius. Saturn is direct in Capricorn. Saturn is retrograde on April 29 to September 18. The energy of Saturn in this sign is dense, practical, realistic, industrious on a huge scale, formative, establishing and sustaining. Saturn was last in Capricorn between 1988 and 1991. During the residence Saturn will sextile Neptune in Pisces three times during 2019, 31st Jan, 18th June and Nov 9th. All world religions may face serious issues of faith, science and political change during these times. Saturn will conjunct the dragon's tail (lunar descending node) in 2019 demanding a karmic debt be paid. The most important aspect however is Saturn conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. The are warlike connotations with this symbolism, this is a danger zone. The last time these two astrological heavy weights meet in Capricorn was in 1518, and before that in 1248. We are dealing here with 'forces majeure'. Saturn remains in Capricorn till Feb 17th 2020. Uranus the planet of inspiration and revolution is in Taurus the sign of enduring institution and banking. Uranus remains in Taurus for 7 years. Massive changes in the world of finance and ownership are about to take place. The last time Uranus resided in Taurus was between 1934 and 1941 and before that 1850 to 1859 the time of the Industrial Revolution. The 1934 ingress saw the start of the rise of Nazi Germany and witnessed Hitler (a Taurean) beginning 11 years as dictator of the German Reich. This was the time of the genocide of more than 9 million European Jews, it was also the time of the the beginning of the rise of the USA as a superpower. Today should be regarded as solemn moment in our lives as we, the whole human family, start to react and reorganize ourselves to the impulse of the latest cosmic signature of this 84 year cyclic event. Neptune is now direct in Pisces he has been in this sign since 2011. Neptune in Pisces is symbolic of the greatest watery immersion in the deepest subliminal and spiritual ocean. Neptune is in its own sign of Pisces, a transit that only occurs every 165 years. Neptune rules Pisces and also rules the deepest realms of the subconscious mind. The oceanic vibration of love is flowing with a deeper and higher frequency. Our human mission is to flow with it. Art, music and science are enhanced with the progress of this residence. The blue hair we see these days is very Neptune in Pisces. Neptune will turn retrograde at 19 degrees Pisces on June 21 2019. Neptune enters Aries on March 30th 2025. Pluto is now direct in Capricorn approaching 22 degrees of that sign. Pluto is retrograde April 24 until October 2. Just over 3 degrees now separate Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. Saturn is conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. This is the 'serious zone'. The following astrological heavyweight event, later on in 2020, is the 'Grand Conjunction' of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurring on the Winter Solstice of that year, beckoning to a healthier 'New Age Feeling' just a little way beyond. Pluto enters Aquarius on March 23rd 2023. The next eclipse is a Total Solar Eclipse (passing through South America) on July 2nd 2019 at 11 Cancer (weakly opposite Saturn), followed by a Partial Lunar Eclipse (conjunct Pluto) at 24 Capricorn on July 16th 2019.

This is the chart for the reported time of the start of the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris on Monday 15h April 2019. The chart speaks volumes. Note the iconic Zeitgeist Saturn, Pluto, Dragon's Tail conjunction at the very nadir of the chart. Globally transiting Uranus was exactly conjunct Venus/Mars, locally the Moon was conjunct Paris Ascendant/Midheaven, the Paris MC is opposite Saturn/Pluto. The major aspect that evening, Venus square Jupiter, was totally and exactly hooked into the nodal axis of the France First Republic chart (Sep 21st 1792 15:20 GMT). The last solar eclipse, 6th Jan 2019, saw Uranus 'pretty close' to the descendant of Paris, and the upcoming Solar Eclipse, July 2nd 2019, sees Uranus even closer to the IC of Paris. That First Republic chart has a tight opposition of Jupiter and Saturn. Transiting Uranus is currently midway between being conjunct it's Saturn and opposing it's Jupiter. Progressed Mercury is hovering opposite progressed Neptune. There is much to learn here. We may have seen Paris being a focus for a 'major' event as indicated by Uranus starring the city at the times of consecutive solar eclipses. The nation has been in a 'fog' for a long time, due to the progressed Mercury Neptune opposition. This Notre Dame event might serve to galvanise the nation and reestablish itself with its heritage and history. The sign of these times, Uranus newly arrived in Taurus and Saturn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn. will undoubtedly dominate the charts of many 'major' events over the next couple of years. This event is maybe one of the first of these. Astrological song of the day. Lunar Music Suite. Lunar pressures are certainly rising and with them social energy and human interaction.

Uranus rises at Indiapolis, culminates at Prague and sets at Singapore, Neptune seta at New Delhi, Pluto sets at Rabat.

Today and tomorrow, with the Sun in Taurus and the slowly waning Moon in Pisces, we have on our hands a rather subdued self repressive astrological environment. 02.48 The Sun at 9 Taurus waxing tri-decile Saturn at 21 Capricorn 04.03 The Moon at 3 Pisces waning sextile Uranus at 3 Taurus 08.32 Venus at 11 Aries waxing bi-novile Saturn at 21 Capricorn 10.00 The Sun at 9 Taurus waxing sesuiquadrate Jupiter at 24 Sagittarius 16.35 The Moon at 9 Pisces waning sextile The Sun at 9 Taurus 20.09 Mercury at 18 Aries waxing semi-sextile Neptune at 18 Pisces 23.05 The Sun at 9 Taurus waxing septile Neptune at 18 Pisces 23:58 SATURN TURNS RETROGRADE State of the sky:- Today the Sun is at 9 degrees Taurus. Uranus is also in Taurus. Mercury and Venus are in Aries. The Moon and Neptune are in Pisces. Saturn and Pluto are in Capricorn. There are 51 days to the Solstice. Mercury is residing in Aries. Mercury resides in this sign for a brief 19 days. Mercury is a morning star in Aries. He sextiles Mars on May 1st full of vim, squaring Saturn also on that day, easily thwarted, squares Pluto on May 2nd, mania, and trines Jupiter on May 3rd, opening doorways to fabulous potentials. Mercury enters Taurus on May 6th. Mercury is at Superior Conjunction with the Sun on May 21st at zero Gemini. Mercury in Aries represents a time of quick decisions, direct thinking and speaking, candid communications, assertion and instantaneous communications. With Mercury a morning star in Aries, we are in for a brief refreshing period of new initiatives and ideas. Venus reside as a morning star in Aries with Mercury. This residence adds another dimension to the way it goes right now. Venus resides only 25 days in this sign as an impetuous morning star. Venus squares Saturn on May 7th, checking the vivaciousness, trines Jupiter and squares Pluto on May 9th, in heavy duty manner, and sextiles Mars, pepping up the pace, on 14th May before entering Taurus on May 15th. Mars is in Gemini and resides there for 46 days. He is sextiled by Mercury on May day which is stimulatingly cerebral, and opposes Jupiter on May 5th, the day after Saturday's New Moon, which runs to the excessive. He enters Cancer on May 16th. The assertive energy of Mars is currently free and diverse. Jupiter is retrograde in Sagittarius. This is a visionary time. The motivation here is a need to move, to grow, to seek freedom, to expand and to 'open up'. Optimism, energy, forthrightness, faith in the future and expression of adventure are the hallmarks of the residence. Jupiter is retrograde in 2019 from April 10 to August 11. Jupiter made a waning square to Neptune, Jan 13th 2019, others follow on June 16th 2019 and Sept 21st 2019. This is the only major aspect of the residence and suggests a 'delusional unreal glamorous accompaniment' to this essentially jovial component of the nature of the skies in the year ahead. With Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, Jupiter in Sagittarius adds wit and wonderment before the inevitable astrological maelstrom of 2020 when he joins the two heavy weights in the sign of the goat. Jupiter is all the time moving towards the 2020 union with Saturn and Pluto in the last decan of Capricorn. Jupiter then moves on to conjunct Neptune at 24 degrees Pisces in 2022. The Grand Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurs on the Winter Solstice 2020. This will be a 'mutation conjunction'. It is the first of an unbroken series of Jupiter Saturn conjunctions in Air signs which extend till around 2140. Since 1840 all the Jupiter Saturn conjunctions have been in Earth signs, with the exception of the 1980-1981 triple conjunction. Jupiter turned retrograde on April 10th at 24 Sagittarius. Saturn is in Capricorn. Saturn turns retrograde from today April 29 to September 18. The energy of Saturn in this sign is dense, practical, realistic, industrious on a huge scale, formative, establishing and sustaining. Saturn was last in Capricorn between 1988 and 1991. During the residence Saturn will sextile Neptune in Pisces three times during 2019, 31st Jan, 18th June and Nov 9th. All world religions may face serious issues of faith, science and political change during these times. Saturn will conjunct the dragon's tail (lunar descending node) in 2019 demanding a karmic debt be paid. The most important aspect however is Saturn conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. The are warlike connotations with this symbolism, this is a danger zone. The last time these two astrological heavy weights meet in Capricorn was in 1518, and before that in 1248. We are dealing here with 'forces majeure'. Saturn remains in Capricorn till Feb 17th 2020. Uranus the planet of inspiration and revolution is in Taurus the sign of enduring institution and banking. Uranus remains in Taurus for 7 years. Massive changes in the world of finance and ownership are about to take place. The last time Uranus resided in Taurus was between 1934 and 1941 and before that 1850 to 1859 the time of the Industrial Revolution. The 1934 ingress saw the start of the rise of Nazi Germany and witnessed Hitler (a Taurean) beginning 11 years as dictator of the German Reich. This was the time of the genocide of more than 9 million European Jews, it was also the time of the the beginning of the rise of the USA as a superpower. Today should be regarded as solemn moment in our lives as we, the whole human family, start to react and reorganize ourselves to the impulse of the latest cosmic signature of this 84 year cyclic event. Neptune is now direct in Pisces he has been in this sign since 2011. Neptune in Pisces is symbolic of the greatest watery immersion in the deepest subliminal and spiritual ocean. Neptune is in its own sign of Pisces, a transit that only occurs every 165 years. Neptune rules Pisces and also rules the deepest realms of the subconscious mind. The oceanic vibration of love is flowing with a deeper and higher frequency. Our human mission is to flow with it. Art, music and science are enhanced with the progress of this residence. The blue hair we see these days is very Neptune in Pisces. Neptune will turn retrograde at 19 degrees Pisces on June 21 2019. Neptune enters Aries on March 30th 2025. Pluto is now retrograde in Capricorn at 22 degrees of that sign. Pluto is retrograde from April 24 until October 2. Just over 3 degrees now separate Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. Saturn will start to draw back on April 29th. Saturn is conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. This is the 'serious zone'. The following astrological heavyweight event, later on in 2020, is the 'Grand Conjunction' of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurring on the Winter Solstice of that year, beckoning to a healthier 'New Age Feeling' just a little way beyond. Pluto enters Aquarius on March 23rd 2023. The next eclipse is a Total Solar Eclipse (passing through South America) on July 2nd 2019 at 11 Cancer (weakly opposite Saturn), followed by a Partial Lunar Eclipse (conjunct Pluto) at 24 Capricorn on July 16th 2019.

Astrological song of the day. Rainbow lollipop. A slightly softer feel to proceedings today prior to the Mercurial maypole 'hanky panky' in store on Wednesday and Thursday. 08.59 Venus at 12 Aries waxing tri-decile Jupiter at 24 Sagittarius 10.33 The Moon slowly accelerating to her balsamic phase conjunction Neptune at 18 Pisces 11.37 The Sun at 10 Taurus waning novile Mars at 20 Gemini 14.23 The Moon at 20 Pisces waning square Mars at 20 Gemini 15.35 The Moon at 21 Pisces waxing sextile Saturn at 21 Capricorn 17.00 The Moon at 21 Pisces trines her node from south of the ecliptic. 20.49 The Moon at 23 Pisces waxing sextile Pluto at 23 Capricorn 21.58 The Moon at 24 Pisces waxing square Jupiter at 24 Sagittarius, moon void. The Moon is void of course for 12.5 hours.

Wednesday 1st May 2019

Mercury sextile Mars, square Saturn and the lunar node.

Astrological song of the day. Crosstown traffic. Possible mayday high jinx today. Mercury sextiles Mars, pumped with adrenalin, and is then kept in check, squared by Saturn. Throttle and brakes both on. Drums overheating. The ageing Moon then crashes into Aries bringing new initiatives, assertions and challenges. Mercury moving on to be squared by the lunar node today and by Pluto tomorrow, all in all a couple of quite challenging days. 01.19 The Moon reaches her balsamic phase. The procession to the New Moon now begins in earnest. 06.38 Mercury at 20 Aries waning sextile Mars at 20 Gemini 08.51 Mercury at 21 Aries waxing square Saturn at 21 Capricorn 10.26 The Moon enters Aries joining Mercury and Venus in this sign. 12.18 Mars at 21 Gemini waxing quincunx Saturn at 21 Capricorn 12.26 Venus at 13 Aries waxing bi-novile Pluto at 23 Capricorn 18.12 Mercury at 21 Aries waning square the lunar node at 21 Cancer 19.33 The Sun at 11 Taurus waxing tri-decile Pluto at 23 Capricorn

Astrological song of the day. Just like honey. A day characterised by Mercury square Pluto and the Moon conjunct Venus in Aries. An interesting combination. 02.53 Uranus at 3 Taurus waxing semi-square Neptune at 18 Pisces. Uranus waxing semi-square Neptune (the last of five such aspects:- Aug 11th 2017, Oct 7th 2017, June 16th 2018, Dec 15th 2018 and May 2nd 2019). The current Uranus Neptune 171 year cycle started in 1993 in Capricorn. The planets are at opposition in 2078-2081, and the cycle ends in 2165 in Aquarius. In the next Uranus-Neptune cycle, up to 2165, we are challenged to build a genuine, globally-consensual, planetary world-view, embracing our differences and variety. And the scenario following the opposition of 2080 is likely to sharply contrast that which we are now evolving as the cycle begins. Uranus-Neptune frequencies resonate through groupthink - through the underlying assumptions, conventions, hidden agendas and values of our world. Groupthink perpetually changes, and it's the stuff of collective life. It's what lies behind what people believe is going on. Uranus and Neptune seem to drive this along. Imagination, aspiration and genius pull from the front, and lies, avoidances and fears drag it back - and somewhere in the middle there is the median point of real human evolution.http://cura.free.fr/xx/20palden.html 14.40 The Moon conjunction Venus at 14 Aries 21.52 Mercury at 23 Aries waxing square Pluto at 23 Capricorn

Astrological song of the day. Crazy diamond. Exalted conceptions. Balsamic Moon in Aries, void for most of this day but prophetic and visionary. 02.17 This ancient Moon accelerating at 21 Aries waxing square Saturn at 21 Capricorn 03.25 The Moon at 21 Aries squares her node from south of the ecliptic. 04.00 Mercury at 24 Aries waxing trine Jupiter at 24 Sagittarius 04.23 The Moon at 22 Aries waning sextile Mars at 22 Gemini 07.18 The Moon at 23 Aries waxing square Pluto at 23 Capricorn 08.07 The Moon at 24 Aries waxing trine Jupiter at 24 Sagittarius 08.48 The Moon at 24 Aries conjunction Mercury at 24 Aries, moon void of course. The Moon is void of course for nearly 12 hours. 11.04 Mercury at 24 Aries waxing decile Neptune at 18 Pisces 20.20 The Moon ingresses Taurus, joining the Sun in this sign and makes her approach to her new phase.

Astrological song of the day. Master of the universe. 02.16 The Moon at 3 Taurus conjunction Uranus at 3 Taurus 22.46 Moment of NEW MOON trine Saturn. This is the fourth New Moon following the Partial Solar Eclipse at 15 degrees Capricorn on January 6th 2019 and it is the penultimate New Moon before the Total Solar Eclipse on July 2nd 2019 at 11 degrees Cancer. This New Moon in mid Taurus is luxurious and sensual. It is characterised by the accompanying opposition of Mars and Jupiter which is aligned to several cities and countries, at the exact moment of lunar 'newness'.This includes London, (Jupiter rising), Seoul, North and South Korea, South Island New Zealand, San Francisco, Seattle, Rio, and Recife. The London chart is especially potent, with the local MC and Mercury hooked into a cardinal cross, possibly indicating events of importance over the next few weeks. More to follow on this one. Stay tuned to the Daze. At the New Moon moment Saturn, Pluto, lunar node lines pass through Tripoli, Pluto rises at Moscow and at Lagos, Saturn culminates at Calcutta, Sun and Moon rise at Perth (Aus), Neptune culminates at Melbourne, Sunset is at Lima, Uranus sets at New York. Today's New Moon directly hits the Mercury Venus conjunction of Marco Rubio, the Mercury Saturn conjunction of Naomi Campbell, the Moon of Emmanuel Macron, the Mars of Mariah Carey, maybe the Moon of Michael Gove, the Mars, trine Venus, of Mick Jagger, the Uranus of Barbara Windsor, the Venus of Denmark, the lunar node of Israel, the Pluto of the UK Tory party, the ascendant of Hong Kong. It opposes the Mars of Joseph Biden, trines the Venus of Meghan Markle and is widely conjunct the Jupiter of Boris Johnson. Quite a big deal really!

Astrological song of the day. Psychedelic Warlords A Cardinal 'T' square now forms involving Venus, the lunar node, Saturn and Pluto lasting from today up to May 9th. Where Mercury has just trodden, now Venus will follow. Another slightly tortuous week is in store. Mars opposite Jupiter today revealing a multitude of options. 06.03 The infant new Moon at 18 Taurus waxing sextile Neptune at 18 Pisces 10.23 The Moon at 21 Taurus waxing trine Saturn at 20 Capricorn 11.16 The Moon at 21 Taurus sextiles her node from south of the ecliptic. 12.29 Mars at 23 Gemini waxing quincunx Pluto at 23 Capricorn 15.11 The Moon at 23 Taurus waxing trine Pluto at 23 Capricorn, moon void 15.19 Venus at 18 Aries waxing semi-sextile Neptune at 18 Pisces 15.41 The Moon at 23 Taurus waxing quincunx Jupiter at 23 Sagittarius 17.59 Mercury at 28 Aries waxing novile Neptune at 18 Pisces 19:03 The Sun is at 15 degrees Taurus. We are half way between Equinox and Solstice. In the northern hemisphere it is the start of summer and the start of the lightest quarter of the year. In the south the season of 'fading' begins and with it the start of the darkest quarter of the year. 21.57 Mars at 23 Gemini opposition Jupiter at 23 Sagittarius

Feb 14th 2019, May 7th 2019, Dec 18th 2019 , Aug 2nd 2020, Oct 27th. 44 year cycle starting in 1988 (the 1988 activator), ending in 2032 ('2032 coming through to you'). Opposition in 2008 to 2010. Last quarter phase in 2021. The Saturn Uranus cycle symbolises new creations following old breakdowns. It demands adapting to new situations and fostering appropriate responses. This waning bi-septile aspect is a 'fine tuning' vibration, empowering 'cutting away from the past'. 12.15 The Moon at 18 Gemini waxing square Neptune at 18 Pisces 13.27 Venus at 20 Aries waxing square Saturn at 20 Capricorn 16.19 The Moon at 20 Gemini waxing quincunx Saturn at 20 Capricorn 16.36 The Moon at 21 Gemini waxing sextile Venus at 21 Aries 20.53 Venus at 21 Aries waning square the lunar node at 21 Cancer 20.59 The Moon at 23 Gemini waxing quincunx Pluto at 23 Capricorn 21.11 The Moon at 23 Gemini opposition Jupiter at 23 Sagittarius 23.48 Mars at 25 Gemini waxing septile Uranus at 3 Taurus 23.50 The Moon conjunction Mars at 25 Gemini, moon void

He is sextile Neptune and trine Saturn on May 16th, trine Pluto on May 18th. Mercury enters Gemini on May 21st and is immediately at Superior Conjunction with the Sun. Dependably realistic communications will be delivered during this brief period. Venus resides as a morning star in Aries. This residence adds another dimension to the way it goes right now. Venus resides only 25 days in this sign as an impetuous morning star. Venus sextiles Mars, pepping up the pace, tomorrow before entering Taurus Wednesday. Mars is in Gemini. He enters Cancer on May 16th. The assertive energy of Mars is currently free and diverse. Jupiter is retrograde in Sagittarius. This is a visionary time. The motivation here is a need to move, to grow, to seek freedom, to expand and to 'open up'. Optimism, energy, forthrightness, faith in the future and expression of adventure are the hallmarks of the residence. Jupiter is retrograde in 2019 from April 10 to August 11. Jupiter made a waning square to Neptune, Jan 13th 2019, others follow on June 16th 2019 and Sept 21st 2019. This is the only major aspect of the residence and suggests a 'delusional unreal glamorous accompaniment' to this essentially jovial component of the nature of the skies in the year ahead. With Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, Jupiter in Sagittarius adds wit and wonderment before the inevitable astrological maelstrom of 2020 when he joins the two heavy weights in the sign of the goat. Jupiter is all the time moving towards the 2020 union with Saturn and Pluto in the last decan of Capricorn. Jupiter then moves on to conjunct Neptune at 24 degrees Pisces in 2022. The Grand Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurs on the Winter Solstice 2020. This will be a 'mutation conjunction'. It is the first of an unbroken series of Jupiter Saturn conjunctions in Air signs which extend till around 2140. Since 1840 all the Jupiter Saturn conjunctions have been in Earth signs, with the exception of the 1980-1981 triple conjunction. Saturn is retrograde in Capricorn. Saturn is retrograde until September 18. The energy of Saturn in this sign is dense, practical, realistic, industrious on a huge scale, formative, establishing and sustaining. Saturn was last in Capricorn between 1988 and 1991. During the residence Saturn sextiles Neptune in Pisces three times during 2019, 31st Jan, 18th June and Nov 9th. All world religions face serious issues of faith, science and political change during these times. Saturn will conjunct the dragon's tail (lunar descending node) in 2019 demanding a karmic debt be paid. The most important aspect however is Saturn conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. The are warlike connotations with this symbolism, this is a danger zone. The last time these two astrological heavy weights meet in Capricorn was in 1518, and before that in 1248. We are dealing here with 'forces majeure'. Saturn remains in Capricorn till Feb 17th 2020. Uranus the planet of inspiration and revolution is in Taurus the sign of enduring institution and banking. Uranus remains in Taurus for 7 years. Massive changes in the world of finance and ownership are about to take place. The last time Uranus resided in Taurus was between 1934 and 1941 and before that 1850 to 1859 the time of the Industrial Revolution. The 1934 ingress saw the start of the rise of Nazi Germany and witnessed Hitler (a Taurean) beginning 11 years as dictator of the German Reich. This was the time of the genocide of more than 9 million European Jews, it was also the time of the the beginning of the rise of the USA as a superpower. Today should be regarded as solemn moment in our lives as we, the whole human family, start to react and reorganize ourselves to the impulse of the latest cosmic signature of this 84 year cyclic event. Neptune is now direct in Pisces he has been in this sign since 2011. Neptune in Pisces is symbolic of the greatest watery immersion in the deepest subliminal and spiritual ocean. Neptune is in its own sign of Pisces, a transit that only occurs every 165 years. Neptune rules Pisces and also rules the deepest realms of the subconscious mind. The oceanic vibration of love is flowing with a deeper and higher frequency. Our human mission is to flow with it. Art, music and science are enhanced with the progress of this residence. The blue hair we see these days is very Neptune in Pisces. Neptune will turn retrograde at 19 degrees Pisces on June 21 2019. Neptune enters Aries on March 30th 2025. Pluto is now retrograde in Capricorn at 22 degrees of that sign. Pluto is retrograde from April 24 until October 2. Just over 3 degrees now separate Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. Saturn will start to draw back on April 29th. Saturn is conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. This is the 'serious zone'. The following astrological heavyweight event, later on in 2020, is the 'Grand Conjunction' of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurring on the Winter Solstice of that year, beckoning to a healthier 'New Age Feeling' just a little way beyond. Pluto enters Aquarius on March 23rd 2023. The next eclipse is a Total Solar Eclipse (passing through South America) on July 2nd 2019 at 11 Cancer (weakly opposite Saturn), followed by a Partial Lunar Eclipse (conjunct Pluto) at 24 Capricorn on July 16th 2019

Astrological song of the day. Freak like me. Lunar pressures are indeed rising. The smoothness of yesterday develops rough edges today. The day drifts, laziness manifests. A very tight 'finger of fate' pattern is manifest involving Mercury Neptune and the Moon as this day starts (GMT).

Astrological song of the day. Rain. The almost Full Moon has now entered Scorpio. There is a 'low hum' lunar intensity. Mars is now in Cancer and Venus is in Taurus. There have been a couple of subtle astrological changes in the last few days and we find ourselves at the doorstep of the Walpurgis Full Moon with an increased feminine, nurturing, fertile influence in the biosphere.

This 'Walpurgis' Full Moon at 27 degrees Scorpio is opposite Mercury sextile Pluto. Venus is conjunct Uranus, Mercury trine Pluto, Saturn sextile Neptune and Mars sextile Uranus. There are 6 bodies in Earth signs and zero in Air. There is a watery planetary kite focused on the lunar nodes adding an emotionally dynamic vibration to proceedings today. The Full Moon in Scorpio is always an intense lunation where emotion and will can get the better of you. It's opposition to Mercury invokes conflict between mind and emotion. Venus conjunct Uranus in Taurus colours the event with a 'flash of the anima', the femme fatale, the shock of the 'she', 'girls on top'. Sex, money, passion, and fate are all pronounced at this time. The time is high. Nature spirits arise. At the exact moment of Full Moon the Moon rises at Belem and at Asuncion and sets at Shanghai. Venus and Uranus are aligned to Lima, Capetown and Stockholm. Saturn and the lunar nodes are aligned to Athens and to Havana.

It sets the scene for the New Moon in Gemini next Monday which occupies a similar position as Mercury is in this week, opposite Jupiter, square Neptune. Interesting adjustments ahead. A bit difficult keeping up! 04.02 Mercury at 17 Gemini waxing semi-sextile Venus at 17 Taurus 05.44 Mercury at 17 Gemini waxing biquintile Pluto at 23 Capricorn 09.52 The slowly waning Moon at 8 Aries sextile The Sun at 8 Gemini 11.31 The Moon at 9 Aries waning square Mars at 9 Cancer 12.39 The Sun at 8 Gemini waxing sesuiquadrate Pluto at 23 Capricorn 14.17 Venus at 17 Taurus waning septile Mars at 9 Cancer

Venus in Taurus sextile Neptune on Thursday is artistic and romantic. The time is ripe for a spontaneous gesture of appreciation towards a loved one. We are also under the influence of a mutable T-square involving Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune and can expect a measure of outlandish errors and adjustments. Lots of changes are in the mix. Astrological song of the day. Love and affection. 01.23 Mercury at 19 Gemini waxing square Neptune at 19 Pisces 06.36 The Sun at 9 Gemini waxing bi-novile Neptune at 19 Pisces 08.03 The slowly waning Moon at 19 Aries sextiles Mercury at 19 Gemini 09:00 to 15:09 A Cardinal 'T' square forms involving the Moon, her node, Saturn and Pluto. 09.00 The Moon at 20 Aries waning square the lunar node at 20 Cancer 09.17 The Moon at 20 Aries waxing square Saturn at 20 Capricorn 11.22 The Moon at 21 Aries waxing trine Jupiter at 21 Sagittarius 13.01 Mercury at 20 Gemini waxing semi-square Uranus at 5 Taurus 15.09 The Moon at 23 Aries waxing square Pluto at 23 Capricorn, moon void. 15.19 Mercury at 20 Gemini waxing quincunx Saturn at 20 Capricorn 16.51 Venus at 19 Taurus waxing sextile Neptune at 19 Pisces 17.23 The Moon reaches her balsamic phase. The procession to the New Moon now begins in earnest. Mercury opposes Jupiter as the (GMT) day ends. Not a good time for correct decision making.

Astrological song of the day. Down to zero. Thursday ends and Friday starts with a void of course Moon in Aries. A softer couple of days ahead. The Moon (from 04:45 GMT) and Venus are in Taurus. Lead the bull gently and show consideration. 03.12 Mercury at 21 Gemini opposition Jupiter at 21 Sagittarius 04.45 The balsamic accelerating Moon ingresses Taurus joining Venus and Uranus in this sign. 12.36 Venus at 20 Taurus waning sextile the lunar node at 20 Cancer 13.27 The Moon conjunction Uranus at 5 Taurus 15.27 Venus at 20 Taurus waxing trine Saturn at 20 Capricorn 22.02 The Sun at 10 Gemini waning semi-sextile Mars at 10 Cancer 23.49 The Moon at 10 Taurus waning sextile Mars at 10 Cancer

Astrological song of the day Love will tear us apart. Today the old Moon is conjunct Venus in Taurus. A rare vintage, sustaining and enduring. 03.14 Mercury at 23 Gemini waxing quincunx Pluto at 23 Capricorn 09.20 Venus at 21 Taurus waxing quincunx Jupiter at 21 Sagittarius 11.01 The Sun at 11 Gemini waxing decile Uranus at 5 Taurus 14.59 Mars at 11 Cancer waning quad-novile Jupiter at 21 Sagittarius 15.16 The balsamic Moon accelerating at 19 Taurus waxing sextile Neptune at 19 Pisces 16.56 The Moon at 20 Taurus waning sextile the lunar node at 20 Cancer 17.01 Mercury at 24 Gemini waxing tri-septile Saturn at 20 Capricorn 17.13 The Moon at 20 Taurus waxing trine Saturn at 20 Capricorn 18.52 The Moon at 21 Taurus waxing quincunx Jupiter at 21 Sagittarius 19.56 The Moon conjunction Venus at 21 Taurus 22.54 The Moon at 23 Taurus waxing trine Pluto at 23 Capricorn, moon void

Asttrological song of the day. Candy 11.49 The ancient Moon ingresses Gemini joining the Sun and Mercury in this sign. 18.50 Mercury at 26 Gemini waxing septile Uranus at 5 Taurus The day prepares us for the New Moon tomorrow.

Astrological song of the day. Lucky. 03.42 Venus at 23 Taurus waxing trine Pluto at 23 Capricorn 07.06 Mercury at 27 Gemini waxing tri-septile Pluto at 23 Capricorn 10.03 Moment of NEW MOON widely opposite Jupiter and widely square Neptune. This is the fifth New Moon following the Partial Solar Eclipse at 15 degrees Capricorn on January 6th 2019 and it is the ultimate New Moon before the Total Solar Eclipse on July 2nd 2019 at 11 degrees Cancer. With the passing of this New Moon we enter the foothills of a new eclipse season. At the time of this New Moon, Venus earth trines Pluto (the power of love), Saturn sextiles Neptune (scientific and religious changes),and Jupiter squares Neptune (glamour and confusion). Mutable Earth and Air predominate (shifting sands and air currents). The New Moon is conjunct the Uranus/Node midpoint (shared experiences). This is essentially a New Moon of communication and contact. It is essentially light. At the exact moment of New Moon (10:03 GMT) the Sun and Moon are culminating at Istanbul, setting over Japan, rising at Manaus (Brazil). Jupiter sets at New York, Neptune sets at Ankara. Jupiter is at lower culmination at Moscow. Saturn and the lunar node are aligned to Kabul. The New Moon is square Boris Johnson's Pluto, and square Jeremy Hunt's Mars and is conjunct the MC of the May Government chart and sextiles the UK Tory Party Neptune. The Sun of Russell Brand and Ben Stokes are hit, as are the Moons of Bridgett Bardot, and of the Cyprus chart. It hits the ascendant of Phill Collins, and the Uranus of the Jon Anderson (Yes) generation. The New Moon also hits the Pluto in the Dow Jones Share Index chart. 20.39 The infant New Moon at 19 Gemini waxing square Neptune at 19 Pisces 22.17 The Moon at 20 Gemini waxing quincunx Saturn at 20 Capricorn 23.35 The Moon at 20 Gemini opposition Jupiter at 20 Sagittarius State of the sky:- Today the Sun is at 13 degrees Gemini. The New Moon and Mercury are also in Gemini. Uranus and Venus are in Taurus. Saturn and Pluto are in Capricorn. There are 17 days to the Solstice. Mercury is an evening star in Gemini. Mercury enters Cancer tomorrow. Mercury enters his shadow on June 21st, slows to an apparent speed less than a degree per day on June 24th and turns retrograde on July 7th at 4 degrees Leo. Venus resides as a morning star in Taurus. Venus trines Pluto today seeking enhanced power. Venus enters Gemini on June 9th. Accumulation of wealth, love of the senses, appreciation of nature and the desire for stability, comfort and dependability are pronounced right now. Mars resides in Cancer and has a mainly favorable time here, with one exception, (Mars opposite Pluto June 20th). The emphasis is now on domestic, family, tribal, national matters. Thrift is to the fore as is defense, protection and support. Mars trines Neptune and sextiles Saturn on June 14th, the significant day of the residence with possible far reaching consequences. Mars conjuncts Mercury at 22 Cancer on June 18th, mind, emotion and muscle in harmony and opposes Pluto with seething violence and possible trauma on June 20th. Mars enters Leo on July 1st Jupiter is retrograde in Sagittarius. This is a visionary time. The motivation here is a need to move, to grow, to seek freedom, to expand and to 'open up'. Optimism, energy, forthrightness, faith in the future and expression of adventure are the hallmarks of the residence. Jupiter is retrograde in 2019 from April 10 to August 11. Jupiter made a waning square to Neptune, Jan 13th 2019, others follow on June 16th 2019 and Sept 21st 2019. This is the only major aspect of the residence and suggests a 'delusional unreal glamorous accompaniment' to this essentially jovial component of the nature of the skies in the year ahead. With Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, Jupiter in Sagittarius adds wit and wonderment before the inevitable astrological maelstrom of 2020 when he joins the two heavy weights in the sign of the goat. Jupiter is all the time moving towards the 2020 union with Saturn and Pluto in the last decan of Capricorn. Jupiter then moves on to conjunct Neptune at 24 degrees Pisces in 2022. The Grand Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurs on the Winter Solstice 2020. This will be a 'mutation conjunction'. It is the first of an unbroken series of Jupiter Saturn conjunctions in Air signs which extend till around 2140. Since 1840 all the Jupiter Saturn conjunctions have been in Earth signs, with the exception of the 1980-1981 triple conjunction. Saturn is retrograde in Capricorn until September 18th. The energy of Saturn in this sign is dense, practical, realistic, industrious on a huge scale, formative, establishing and sustaining. Saturn was last in Capricorn between 1988 and 1991. During the residence Saturn sextiles Neptune in Pisces three times during 2019, 31st Jan, 18th June and Nov 9th. All world religions face serious issues of faith, science and political change during these times. Saturn will conjunct the dragon's tail (lunar descending node) in 2019 demanding a karmic debt be paid. The most important aspect however is Saturn conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. The are warlike connotations with this symbolism, this is a danger zone. The last time these two astrological heavy weights meet in Capricorn was in 1518, and before that in 1248. We are dealing here with 'forces majeure'. Saturn remains in Capricorn till Feb 17th 2020. Uranus the planet of inspiration and revolution is in Taurus the sign of enduring institution and banking. Uranus remains in Taurus for 7 years. Massive changes in the world of finance and ownership are about to take place. The last time Uranus resided in Taurus was between 1934 and 1941 and before that 1850 to 1859 the time of the Industrial Revolution. The 1934 ingress saw the start of the rise of Nazi Germany and witnessed Hitler (a Taurean) beginning 11 years as dictator of the German Reich. This was the time of the genocide of more than 9 million European Jews, it was also the time of the the beginning of the rise of the USA as a superpower. Today should be regarded as solemn moment in our lives as we, the whole human family, start to react and reorganize ourselves to the impulse of the latest cosmic signature of this 84 year cyclic event. Neptune is now direct in Pisces he has been in this sign since 2011. Neptune will turn retrograde at 19 degrees Pisces on June 21 2019. Neptune in Pisces is symbolic of the greatest watery immersion in the deepest subliminal and spiritual ocean. Neptune is in its own sign of Pisces, a transit that only occurs every 165 years. Neptune rules Pisces and also rules the deepest realms of the subconscious mind. The oceanic vibration of love is flowing with a deeper and higher frequency. Our human mission is to flow with it. Art, music and science are enhanced with the progress of this residence. The blue hair we see these days is very Neptune in Pisces. Neptune enters Aries on March 30th 2025. Pluto is now retrograde in Capricorn at 22 degrees of that sign. Pluto is retrograde from April 24 until October 2. Saturn is conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. This is the 'serious zone'. The following astrological heavyweight event, later on in 2020, is the 'Grand Conjunction' of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurring on the Winter Solstice of that year, beckoning to a healthier 'New Age Feeling' just a little way beyond. Pluto enters Aquarius on March 23rd 2023. The next eclipse is a Total Solar Eclipse (passing through South America) on July 2nd 2019 at 11 Cancer (weakly opposite Saturn), followed by a Partial Lunar Eclipse (conjunct Pluto) at 24 Capricorn on July 16th 2019

Yesterday's New Moon coincided with Donald Trump's state visit to the UK. Venus is conjunct his natal MC today. The Moon and Mercury tumble into Cancer later today joining Mars already there. The day turns domestic, maternal and protective. Astrological song of the day Protection. 03.51 The infant new Moon accelerating at 23 Gemini waxing quincunx Pluto at 23 Capricorn 10.50 The Sun at 14 Gemini waxing biquintile Saturn at 20 Capricorn 13.59 Venus at 25 Taurus waxing tri-septile Jupiter at 20 Sagittarius 14.14 Mercury at 30 Gemini waxing quad-novile Saturn at 20 Capricorn 15.43 The Moon conjunction Mercury at 30 Gemini, moon void 16.19 The Moon ingresses Cancer 20.06 Mercury ingresses Cancer joining the Moon and Mars in this sign. Mercury will not finally leave this sign until 68 days from now, August 11th, because of his forthcoming retrograde phase. He sextiles Uranus on 7th June, which promotes ingenuity, trines Neptune and opposes Saturn on June 16th, which is testy. Mercury is conjunct Mars on June 18th at 22 Cancer and opposes Pluto the next day, a particularly volatile time and one to watch out for. Mercury enters his shadow on June 21st, slows to an apparent speed less than a degree per day on June 24th. Mercury leaves Cancer the first time on June 27th and then turns retrograde at 4 Leo on July 7th. Mercury re-enters Cancer on July 19th and is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun at 28 Cancer on July 21st. Mercury has a merry meeting with Venus at 26 Cancer on July 25th. He turns direct again on August 1st at 24 Cancer and re-enters Leo on Aug 11th. The entire period is characterised by an intuitive and defensive air. The heart rules the head during the ensuing 10 weeks.

Astrological song of the day. Blue The Moon, Mercury and Mars are now in Cancer. The Moon is conjunct Mars today. Emotional and instinctive responses can be expected. This is a time for nourishment and sustenance. 00.37 The rapidly waxing young Moon accelerating at 5 Cancer waxing sextile Uranus at 5 Taurus 14.49 The Moon conjunction Mars at 13 Cancer. Impulse of 'feeling'. 15.46 Mercury at 2 Cancer waxing bi-septile Neptune at 19 Pisces 20.29 The Sun at 15 Gemini waxing novile Uranus at 5 Taurus

Astrological song of the day Tool. A Mutable 'T' square forms involving the Sun, Jupiter and Neptune. It starts today and ends in 7 days time. Following in the footsteps of Mercury, who traversed this degree area at the very end of May, we can expect a similar mix of 'fluidity' outlandish communications, and small adjustments, popular movements and confused affiliations. The T-square peaks next Sunday and Monday with the Virgo Moon 'completing the square'. 00.06 The rapidly waxing young Moon at 19 Cancer waxing trine Neptune at 19 Pisces 01.12 The Moon conjunction her ascending node at 19 Cancer 01.29 The Moon at 19 Cancer opposition Saturn at 19 Capricorn 02.29 The Moon at 20 Cancer waning quincunx Jupiter at 20 Sagittarius 05.04 Mercury at 3 Cancer waxing decile Venus at 27 Taurus 07.01 The Moon at 23 Cancer opposition Pluto at 23 Capricorn 08.01 Mercury at 3 Cancer waxing quad-novile Pluto at 23 Capricorn 14.11 The Moon at 27 Cancer waxing sextile Venus at 27 Taurus. The moon is void of course for just over 5 hours. 19.17 The Moon ingresses Leo 20.44 The Moon reaches her waxing crescent phase 23.20 Jupiter at 20 Sagittarius waning sesuiquadrate Uranus at 5 Taurus. This is the second of three. They symbolise a review of 'what went well'. The 14 year long cycle of Jupiter and Uranus is the cool one, it represents growth and inspiration, (my favorite). The current cycle started in 2010 in Pisces and ends in 5 years time in Taurus. The dates of this aspect are Jan 9th, June 6th and Oct 14th 2019. Let's do it again, even better.

Astrological song of the day. White rabbit. Ingenuity, creativity and innovation are to the fore today. Thinking out of the box. The waxing crescent Moon is whizzing through Leo leaving a need for recreation and pleasure in its wake. 03.37 This very rapidly moving Moon at 5 Leo squares Uranus at 5 Taurus 14.17 Mercury at 5 Cancer waxing sextile Uranus at 5 Taurus 18.07 The Sun at 17 Gemini waxing biquintile Pluto at 23 Capricorn 23.20 The Moon is at perigee, fastest and nearest to the Earth all month. 23.47 The Moon at 17 Leo waxing sextile The Sun at 17 Gemini Saturday is made for fun and games. Sunday, with the Moon in Virgo and the current mutable square tightening, is a little more serious, and there is some punchy astrology to follow, just around the corner.

We are now entering a challenging approach to this year's Northern hemisphere Summer Solstice. For starters a mutable T-square involving the Sun, Jupiter and Neptune is currently building up to a very fluid climax 'of sorts' on Monday 10th June when then Moon 'completes the square' and renders a very tense, outlandish and confused experience upon the eco sphere. Next week sees the build up to a potentially harsh and possibly exhausting opposition of Mars and Saturn, peaking on Friday June 14th, and providing potentially laborious and frustrating experiences. On Sunday 16th June Mercury opposes Saturn, seriously challenging the status quo and quite likely piling on hassle and harassment. The Full Moon on Monday 17th June, unaspected and a bit directionless, exacerbates the whole painful situation and adds a 'devil may care' hue, (great if you are a Zen Buddhist, but totally over the top for the rest of us). On Tuesday 18th Mercury is conjunct Mars, a real punch! On Wed 19th Mercury opposes Pluto, getting right under the skin, and on Thursday 20th June Mars opposes Pluto, the worst of the lot, potentially brutal and violent. Om Namah Shivaya. Gird your loins. Stay clear headed as to what is happening, essentially a purge and an exorcism of sorts, and stay tuned to The Daze. Astrological song of the weekend and beyond. The Night Tripper. Saturday..June 8th 2019... 02:00 to 04:00 A finger of fate forms involving the Moon Saturn and Neptune. 02.42 The Moon at 19 Leo waxing quincunx Neptune at 19 Pisces 03.51 The Moon at 19 Leo waning quincunx Saturn at 19 Capricorn 04.35 The Moon at 20 Leo waning trine Jupiter at 20 Sagittarius 09.29 The Moon at 23 Leo waning quincunx Pluto at 23 Capricorn 14.00 Mercury at 7 Cancer waxing tri-decile Neptune at 19 Pisces 19.56 Venus at 30 Taurus waxing quad-novile Jupiter at 20 Sagittarius 21.24 The Moon at 30 Leo waxing square Venus at 30 Taurus, moon void 21.47 The Moon ingresses Virgo

The next eleven days are astrologically 'punchy'. We are today at the peak of the ongoing Sun, Jupiter, Neptune mutable T square. 01.39 Venus ingresses Gemini joining the Sun in this sign. Venus resides in Gemini for a brief 25 days as a morning star. She opposes Jupiter and squares Neptune 23rd to 24th June. This is the highlight of the residence. Venus enters Cancer on July 3rd 2019. She is a t Superior Conjunct 'a Full Venus' on August 14th 2019 and is then an evening star for the remainder of 2019. She is retrograde from May 13th 2020 (at 22 Gemini) to June 25th 2020 (5 Gemini). 01.50 Mars at 15 Cancer waning tri-septile Jupiter at 20 Sagittarius 06.16 The Moon at 5 Virgo waxing trine Uranus at 5 Taurus 11.34 The Moon at 8 Virgo waxing sextile Mercury at 8 Cancer 15.08 Venus at 1 Gemini waxing quintile Neptune at 19 Pisces 17.49 Venus at 1 Gemini waning semi-square Mars at 16 Cancer 19.34 The Sun at 19 Gemini waxing square Neptune at 19 Pisces

A strong 'mutable grand cross' involving the Sun, the Moon, Jupiter and Neptune is today manifest rendering a very tense, outlandish and confused experience upon the ecosphere. Times from 05.00 to 16:00 GMT. This one is the 'repentant thief'. 00.46 The Moon at 16 Virgo waxing sextile Mars at 16 Cancer 05.18 The Moon at 19 Virgo opposition Neptune at 19 Pisces 05.58 The Moon at 19 Virgo waxing sextile the lunar node at 19 Cancer 06.00 The Moon at First Quarter 06.13 The Moon at 19 Virgo waning trine Saturn at 19 Capricorn 06.43 The Moon at 20 Virgo waning square Jupiter at 20 Sagittarius 07.03 Mercury at 10 Cancer waning quad-novile Jupiter at 20 Sagittarius 09.05 The Sun at 19 Gemini waxing quincunx Saturn at 19 Capricorn 12.02 The Moon at 23 Virgo waning trine Pluto at 23 Capricorn, moon void 15.28 The Sun at 19 Gemini opposition Jupiter at 19 Sagittarius State of the sky:- Today the Sun is at 20 degrees Gemini. Uranus and Venus are in Taurus. Saturn and Pluto are in Capricorn. We are approaching nature's climax in the northern hemisphere. There are 10 days to the Solstice. We are also in the foothills of a new eclipse season with a Total Solar Eclipse due on July 3rd. We are entering a challenging approach to this year's Northern hemisphere Summer Solstice. This coming week sees the build up to a potentially harsh and possibly exhausting opposition of Mars and Saturn, peaking on Friday June 14th, and providing potentially laborious and frustrating experiences. On Sunday 16th June Mercury opposes Saturn, seriously challenging the status quo and quite likely piling on hassle and harassment. The Full Moon on Monday 17th June, unaspected and a bit directionless, exacerbates the whole painful situation and adds a 'devil may care' hue. On Tuesday 18th Mercury is conjunct Mars, a real punchy cocktail of mind and muscle! On Wed 19th Mercury opposes Pluto, getting right under the skin, and on Thursday 20th June Mars opposes Pluto, the worst of the lot, potentially brutal and violent. Om Namah Shivaya. Gird your loins. Stay clear headed as to what is happening, essentially a purge and an exorcism of sorts, and stay tuned to The Daze.

There is some slight relief as the Moon firsts enters Libra in the small hours of today, but it is astrologically a hazardous road that we are on this week and next. A trivial discovery. Yesterday was Prince Phillip's 98th birthday. In two years time June 10th 2021 it will be his 100th birthday. There is an annular solar eclipse on that day whose relatively modest shadow falls on the UK. 00.31 The rapidly waxing First Quarter Moon ingresses Libra 04.56 The Moon at 3 Libra waxing trine Venus at 3 Gemini 08.12 The Sun at 20 Gemini waxing semi-square Uranus at 5 Taurus 09.16 The Moon at 5 Libra waxing quincunx Uranus at 5 Taurus 20.19 Mars at 17 Cancer waxing quintile Uranus at 5 Taurus 21.03 The Moon at 12 Libra waxing square Mercury at 12 Cancer

Another day in a difficult week. It's all about relationships right now. A few standoffs are inevitable before the end of this astrologically tough period we are currently in. 06:00 to 09:30 A Cardinal 'T' square forms involving the Moon, Mars and Saturn. A bit bruising to say the least. 06.19 The first quarter Moon at 17 Libra waxing square Mars at 17 Cancer 08.30 The Moon at 19 Libra waning quincunx Neptune at 19 Pisces 08.58 The Moon at 19 Libra squares her node from north of the ecliptic. 09.12 The Moon at 19 Libra waning square Saturn at 19 Capricorn 09.27 The Moon at 19 Libra waning sextile Jupiter at 19 Sagittarius 10.25 Venus at 4 Gemini waxing sesuiquadrate Saturn at 19 Capricorn 12.58 The Moon at 21 Libra waxing trine The Sun at 21 Gemini 15.16 The Moon at 23 Libra waning square Pluto at 23 Capricorn. The Moon is then void of course for nearly 13 hours.

04.04 The waxing and decelerating Moon ingresses Scorpio 08.42 Venus at 5 Gemini waxing semi-sextile Uranus at 5 Taurus 13.11 The Moon at 5 Scorpio opposition Uranus at 5 Taurus 13.37 The Moon at 5 Scorpio waxing quincunx Venus at 5 Gemini 16.56 Mercury at 15 Cancer waning tri-septile Jupiter at 19 Sagittarius 16.59 The Moon reaches her waxing gibbous phase The procession to the Monday morning (GMT) Full Moon now starts in earnest. 21.45 The Sun at 23 Gemini waxing quincunx Pluto at 23 Capricorn

Mercury, Mars and the lunar node are opposite Saturn trine Neptune with a planetary kite manifest during the middle of the day (GMT). This is a significant time in the unfolding and breaking of the current astrological wave. Today is an intense day with a great deal going on. 06.12 Mars at 19 Cancer waxing trine Neptune at 19 Pisces 07.33 The decelerating waxing gibbous Moon at 16 Scorpio trines Mercury at 16 Cancer 11.44 Mars at 19 Cancer conjunction the lunar node at 19 Cancer 12.54 The Moon at 19 Scorpio waning trine Neptune at 19 Pisces 13.09 The Moon at 19 Scorpio waxing trine the lunar node at 19 Cancer 13.14 The Moon at 19 Scorpio waxing trine Mars at 19 Cancer 13.22 The Moon at 19 Scorpio waning sextile Saturn at 19 Capricorn 14.21 The Sun at 23 Gemini waxing tri-septile Saturn at 19 Capricorn 15.51 Mars at 19 Cancer opposition Saturn at 19 Capricorn 15.54 Mars at 19 Cancer waning quincunx Jupiter at 19 Sagittarius 16.28 Jupiter at 19 Sagittarius waning semi-sextile Saturn at 19 Capricorn 19.46 The Moon at 23 Scorpio waning sextile Pluto at 23 Capricorn. The moon is then void of course for 13 hours.

Lunar pressures are rising as Monday's Full Moon approaches. As well as being in the run up to a Full Moon, we are also in the midst of a maelstrom of planetary energy right now. Expect a ride to remember. The day really gets going as the waxing gibbous Moon enters Sagittarius from 9.05 GMT today. 06.39 Venus at 8 Gemini waxing sesuiquadrate Pluto at 23 Capricorn 09.05 The Moon ingresses Sagittarius joining Jupiter in this sign. 11.13 Mercury at 17 Cancer waxing quintile Uranus at 5 Taurus 18.42 The Moon at 5 Sagittarius waning quincunx Uranus at 5 Taurus

The full fury of the Full Moon in swashbuckling Sagittarius is upon us. At the exact moment of this Full Moon, the Sun and Moon are aligned to Tehran. This focuses attention on the dangerous 'spat' currently underway between Iran and the US, following fires on oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman. The Iran chart is currently undergoing a final Neptune transit of the IC, which is, and has been, very undermining, and has a progressed Full Moon in November in Scorpio, conjunct progressed Uranus, which is exceptionally climatic and wilful. Uranus transits the Iran MC over the next two years. Transiting Uranus is currently conjunct the US/Iran relationship Neptune. The prognosis looks volatile and it looks murky. 01.13 Uranus at 5 Taurus waxing bi-septile Pluto at 23 Capricorn The current Uranus Pluto cycle of 'revolution and rebellion' started in 1965-1966 in Virgo, underwent a difficult prolonged waxing square 2012-2015 and is now undergoing a total of 7 waxing biseptiles (102 degrees) between July 2018 and April 2021. Today's aspect is the 3rd of these. The biseptile aspect represents 'difficulties well met with a little transcendental help'. We are at a fork in the road. Its interesting that this aspect today coincides with a Full Moon.It adds to the import of the time. 02.27 Neptune at 19 Pisces waning trine the lunar node at 19 Cancer. 08.31 Moment of FULL MOON, unaspected, moon void Today's Full Moon is the 5th following on from the Total Lunar Eclipse on January 21st 2019 at zero Leo and the ultimate Full Moon before the Partial Lunar Eclipse on July 16th 2019 at 24 Capricorn. We are now in a new eclipse season. Two of the most important aspects of 2019 are occurring at this time, Jupiter square Pluto and Saturn sextile Neptune. The first is leading people astray and the second is providing great scientific and religious insights. Mercury and Mars are opposite Saturn and Pluto, trine Neptune. This Full Moon is unaspected, (going nowhere), but the accompanying planetary dynamics are potent. Much is in motion, much is underway and starting up. What is lacking is fixity. Only Uranus is in a fixed sign. This Full Moon may well serve to 'bring to a head' current issues. It will induce 'hot-headedness' and blind courage. Today's Full Moon is conjunct Mercury and Jupiter of Australia, (Mercury and Saturn are aligned to Sydney at the exact moment of Full Moon). It is conjunct the Sun of Pope Francis and Keith Richards, the Moon of Rory Bremner and Nigel Farage, Mercury of the EU and Cameroon, the Mars of Angela Merkel and Vlad Putin, the Jupiter Nigeria, the Saturn of Alqueda, the Uranus of Hamas and of the Andy Murray generation, and the Neptune of the Kate Middleton generation and of Chile. The Full Moon is square the MC of the USA. At the exact moment of Full Moon, Uranus culminates at London, Mars rises at Dakar, Neptune rises at Rio and sets at Moscow, the Sun and Moon align to Tehran and Recife. Saturn and the lunar node align to New Delhi. From the moment of Full Moon the Moon is void of course. 16.15 The Moon ingress Capricorn joining Saturn and Pluto in this sign.

Tuesday 18th June 2019

Saturn sextile Neptune.

Mercury conjunct Mars.

A heavy duty day is in store with the waning full moon now decelerating in Capricorn. Mercury makes a tight conjunction with Mars opposite Pluto (and Saturn) today, a veritable pinch point in the story of the year so far. 02.30 The 'hung over full Moon' at 5 Capricorn waning trine Uranus at 5 Taurus 07.01 The Sun at 27 Gemini waxing septile Uranus at 5 Taurus 07.14 The Sun at 27 Gemini waxing tri-septile Pluto at 23 Capricorn 08.37 Venus at 11 Gemini waning novile Mars at 21 Cancer 10.58 Venus at 11 Gemini waxing decile Uranus at 5 Taurus 11.46 Saturn at 19 Capricorn waning sextile Neptune at 19 Pisces 14.18 The Moon at 12 Capricorn waning quincunx Venus at 12 Gemini 16.05 Mercury at 22 Cancer conjunction Mars at 22 Cancer 18:06 Closest conjunction of Mercury and Mars (0.22 degrees). Tightest planetary conjunction in 2019. (0.46 degrees) State of the sky:- Today the Sun is at 28 degrees Gemini. Venus is also in Gemini. Mercury and Mars are in Cancer. The Moon, Saturn and Pluto are in Capricorn. We are approaching nature's climax in the northern hemisphere. There are 2 days to the Solstice. We are also in a new eclipse season with a Total Solar Eclipse due on July 3rd and a partial lunar eclipse on July 16th. We are in the midst of a challenging approach to this year's Northern hemisphere Summer Solstice. On Wed 19th, Mercury opposes Pluto, getting right under the skin, and on Thursday 20th June, Mars opposes Pluto, the worst of the lot, potentially brutal and violent. Om Namah Shivaya. Gird your loins. Stay clear headed as to what is happening, essentially a purge and an exorcism of sorts, and stay tuned to The Daze. Mercury is an evening star in Cancer and will not finally leave this sign until August 11th, because of his forthcoming retrograde phase. He trines Neptune and opposes Saturn on June 16th, which is testy. Mercury is conjunct Mars on June 18th at 22 Cancer and opposes Pluto the next day, a particularly volatile time and one to watch out for. Mercury enters his shadow on June 21st, slows to an apparent speed less than a degree per day on June 24th. Mercury leaves Cancer the first time on June 27th and then turns retrograde at 4 Leo on July 7th. Mercury re-enters Cancer on July 19th and is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun at 28 Cancer on July 21st. Mercury has a merry meeting with Venus at 26 Cancer on July 25th. He turns direct again on August 1st at 24 Cancer and re-enters Leo on Aug 11th. The entire period is characterised by an intuitive and defensive air. The heart rules the head during the ensuing 10 weeks. Venus now resides in Gemini for a brief 25 days as a morning star. She opposes Jupiter and squares Neptune 23rd to 24th June. This is the highlight of the residence. Venus enters Cancer on July 3rd 2019. She is at Superior Conjunct 'a Full Venus' on August 14th 2019 and is then an evening star for the remainder of 2019. She is retrograde from May 13th 2020 (at 22 Gemini) to June 25th 2020 (5 Gemini). Mars resides in Cancer and has a mainly favorable time here, with one exception, (Mars opposite Pluto June 20th). The emphasis is now on domestic, family, tribal, national matters. Thrift is to the fore as is defense, protection and support. Mars trines Neptune and sextiles Saturn on June 14th, the significant day of the residence with possible far reaching consequences. Mars conjuncts Mercury at 22 Cancer on June 18th, mind, emotion and muscle in harmony and opposes Pluto with seething violence and possible trauma on June 20th. Mars enters Leo on July 1st Jupiter is retrograde in Sagittarius. This is a visionary time. The motivation here is a need to move, to grow, to seek freedom, to expand and to 'open up'. Optimism, energy, forthrightness, faith in the future and expression of adventure are the hallmarks of the residence. Jupiter is retrograde in 2019 from April 10 to August 11. Jupiter made a waning square to Neptune, Jan 13th 2019, others follow on June 16th 2019 and Sept 21st 2019. This is the only major aspect of the residence and suggests a 'delusional unreal glamorous accompaniment' to this essentially jovial component of the nature of the skies in the year ahead. With Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, Jupiter in Sagittarius adds wit and wonderment before the inevitable astrological maelstrom of 2020 when he joins the two heavy weights in the sign of the goat. Jupiter is all the time moving towards the 2020 union with Saturn and Pluto in the last decan of Capricorn. Jupiter then moves on to conjunct Neptune at 24 degrees Pisces in 2022. The Grand Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurs on the Winter Solstice 2020. This will be a 'mutation conjunction'. It is the first of an unbroken series of Jupiter Saturn conjunctions in Air signs which extend till around 2140. Since 1840 all the Jupiter Saturn conjunctions have been in Earth signs, with the exception of the 1980-1981 triple conjunction. Saturn is retrograde (until September 18th) in Capricorn . The energy of Saturn in this sign is dense, practical, realistic, industrious on a huge scale, formative, establishing and sustaining. Saturn was last in Capricorn between 1988 and 1991. During the residence Saturn sextiles Neptune in Pisces three times during 2019, 31st Jan, 18th June and Nov 9th. All world religions face serious issues of faith, science and political change during these times. Saturn will conjunct the dragon's tail (lunar descending node) in 2019 demanding a karmic debt be paid. The most important aspect however is Saturn conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. The are warlike connotations with this symbolism, this is a danger zone. The last time these two astrological heavy weights meet in Capricorn was in 1518, and before that in 1248. We are dealing here with 'forces majeure'. Saturn remains in Capricorn till Feb 17th 2020. Uranus the planet of inspiration and revolution is in Taurus the sign of enduring institution and banking. Uranus remains in Taurus for 7 years. Massive changes in the world of finance and ownership are about to take place. The last time Uranus resided in Taurus was between 1934 and 1941 and before that 1850 to 1859 the time of the Industrial Revolution. Neptune is now direct in Pisces he has been in this sign since 2011. Neptune will turn retrograde at 19 degrees Pisces on June 21 2019. Neptune in Pisces is symbolic of the greatest watery immersion in the deepest subliminal and spiritual ocean. Neptune is in its own sign of Pisces, a transit that only occurs every 165 years. Neptune rules Pisces and also rules the deepest realms of the subconscious mind. The oceanic vibration of love is flowing with a deeper and higher frequency. Our human mission is to flow with it. Art, music and science are enhanced with the progress of this residence. The blue hair we see these days is very Neptune in Pisces. Neptune enters Aries on March 30th 2025. Pluto is now retrograde in Capricorn at 22 degrees of that sign. Pluto is retrograde from April 24 until October 2. Saturn is conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. This is the 'serious zone'. The following astrological heavyweight event, later on in 2020, is the 'Grand Conjunction' of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurring on the Winter Solstice of that year, beckoning to a healthier 'New Age Feeling' just a little way beyond. Pluto enters Aquarius on March 23rd 2023. The next eclipse is a Total Solar Eclipse (passing through South America) on July 2nd 2019 at 11 Cancer (weakly opposite Saturn), followed by a Partial Lunar Eclipse (conjunct Pluto) at 24 Capricorn on July 16th 2019

The Moon, Saturn and Pluto oppose Mercury, Mars and the lunar node. The planetary drama of June 2019 continues. In correspondence the US military is sending an additional 1,000 troops to the Middle East as tensions build with Iran. Acting Defence Secretary Patrick Shanahan has said that the deployment was in response to "hostile behaviour" by Iranian forces. The US Navy has shared new images it says link Iran to attacks last week on two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman. Washington has accused Iran of blowing holes in the vessels with mines. Iran has denied the allegations. 03.46 The decelerating waning full Moon at 19 Capricorn opposes her ascending node at 19 Cancer 03.54 The Moon at 19 Capricorn conjunction Saturn at 19 Capricorn

03.59 The Moon at 19 Capricorn waning sextile Neptune at 19 Pisces 10.23 The Moon at 22 Capricorn opposition Mars at 22 Cancer 10.48 Venus at 13 Gemini waxing biquintile Saturn at 19 Capricorn 10.56 Mercury at 22 Cancer opposition Pluto at 22 Capricorn 11.17 The Moon at 22 Capricorn conjunction Pluto at 22 Capricorn 11.20 The Moon at 23 Capricorn opposition Mercury at 23 Cancer, moon void. The Moon is void of course for nearly 15 hours. 22.48 The Moon at 28 Capricorn waning quincunx The Sun at 28 Gemini

Today is the last day of the astrological month of Gemini. The Solstice is tomorrow. Mars opposite Pluto today is potentially violent and destructive. Bullets flying. 02.02 The decelerating waning full Moon ingresses Aquarius 03.27 Mars at 22 Cancer opposition Pluto at 22 Capricorn 04.54 The Sun at 29 Gemini waxing quad-novile Saturn at 19 Capricorn 12.57 The Moon at 6 Aquarius waning square Uranus at 6 Taurus 22.12 Mercury at 24 Cancer waning biquintile Jupiter at 18 Sagittarius

The US military's Central Command has confirmed that a US Navy Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS-D) aircraft was shot down by an Iranian surface-to-air missile system while operating in what it said was international airspace over the Strait of Hormuz at approximately 23:35 GMT on Wednesday (04:05 Iran time on Thursday). This is the first direct incident of the current crisis involving the US and Iranian militaries and is a powerful reminder of the dangers of escalation in the Gulf. Mars was opposite Pluto at the time. We have arrived at a potentially very dangerous and tense summer solstice. Now it is the time of Venus to form a mutable T square with Jupiter and Neptune over the next 4 days, peaking with the Moon joining in on June 24th. 07.07 The Moon reaches her disseminating phase 07.42 The Moon at 15 Aquarius waning trine Venus at 15 Gemini 10.52 NEPTUNE TURNS RETROGRADE 14.03 The Moon at 18 Aquarius waxing sextile Jupiter at 18 Sagittarius. The Moon is then void of course for exactly 24 hours. 15.56 The Sun ingresses Cancer and we reach the moment of Summer Solstice. This is the lightest day of the year in the northern Hemisphere, where we reach 'nature's climax', and the shortest, darkest, mid winter point, in the south. The Sun enters Cancer, joining Mercury and Mars in this sign and the 'whirlpool of the past' and 'the gates of incarnation' open up. The Sun's ingress into Cancer is a time of celebration and I wish all Daze readers a most happy Solstice. The planetary situation at the Cancer Solstice this year is indeed fraught with danger. Saturn and Pluto, the death planets, are conjunct in Capricorn, opposite Mercury and Mars in Cancer, all along the lunar the nodal axis. This is tense and highly suggestive of international trouble ahead. Venus is in T-square with Jupiter and a stationary Neptune, suggesting excess and disillusionment. This however is a fertile time, with a predominance of planets in Cardinal Earth and Water, but with the disseminating Moon, void of course in Aquarius, and Mercury entering his shadow today and turning retrograde in 16 days time, this Solstice has a flavor of impending changes of heart and mind and about turns. There is a strongly circumspect hue to the time which may precede direct action. Finally it must be remembered we are in a new eclipse season, some 11 days from a Total Solar Eclipse. The time is indeed great. 20.15 Venus at 16 Gemini waxing novile Uranus at 6 Taurus

Well, the Sun is now in Cancer, with Mercury and Mars. We have passed the peak of the year, in the north, in terms of light and have begun the 'slow descent'. The overly fraught planetary tensions of the past weeks will now give way to slightly softer vibrations. Pick up the pieces and go on. This weekend we are subject to a mutable t-square involving Venus, Jupiter and Neptune. Touches of glamour, indolence and excesses are now prevalent. 01.17 The decelerating disseminating void of course Moon moving very slowly at 24 Aquarius quincunx Mars at 24 Cancer 05.07 The Moon at 26 Aquarius waning quincunx Mercury at 26 Cancer 05.23 Mercury at 26 Cancer waxing bi-novile Uranus at 6 Taurus 12.38 Venus at 16 Gemini waxing biquintile Pluto at 22 Capricorn 12.42 Mars at 24 Cancer waning biquintile Jupiter at 18 Sagittarius 14.03 The Moon ingresses Pisces joining Neptune in this sign. Even softer. Sun and Moon are now in water signs. A largely emotional atmosphere now ensues. 15.58 The Moon at 1 Pisces waning trine The Sun at 1 Cancer

There is now a very slowly disseminating Moon in oceanic Pisces, inducing a vast emotional tide within us all, a little dreamlike. Also Venus, Jupiter and Neptune are arrayed in 'mutable T-square' suggesting 'lavish, fantastic, glamorous' astrological currents present against a 'watery' background. The Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars and Neptune all in water signs. Bit of a sensation this day. The Venus Jupiter component of the pattern, the principal of 'abundant union', is most active today. The more 'artistic' Venus Neptune component is active on Monday. 01.25 The Moon at 6 Pisces waning sextile Uranus at 6 Taurus 07.42 The Sun at 2 Cancer waxing bi-septile Neptune at 19 Pisces 07.47 The Moon is at apogee (conjunct Black Moon Lilith), slowest and furthest from the Earth all month. 16.45 Venus at 18 Gemini opposition Jupiter at 18 Sagittarius 19.36 Saturn at 18 Capricorn opposition the lunar node at 18 Cancer

Venus today is squared by the Moon and Neptune in Pisces. Strange and shifting aberrations, artistic forms, sublime surfacing, forgiveness and following. Very much a 'receptive to impressions' day. 02.04 The very slowly waning Moon at 18 Pisces waxing square Jupiter at 18 Sagittarius 02.32 Venus at 18 Gemini waxing quincunx Saturn at 18 Capricorn 03.10 The Moon at 18 Pisces waxing sextile Saturn at 18 Capricorn 03.10 The Moon at 18 Pisces waning trines her node from south of the ecliptic. 03.14 The Moon at 18 Pisces waning square Venus at 18 Gemini 03.44 The Sun at 2 Cancer waxing quad-novile Pluto at 22 Capricorn 03.56 The Moon conjunction Neptune at 19 Pisces 09.59 Venus at 19 Gemini waxing square Neptune at 19 Pisces 11.18 The Moon at 22 Pisces waxing sextile Pluto at 22 Capricorn 17.22 The Moon at 25 Pisces waning trine Mars at 25 Cancer 23.11 The Moon at 28 Pisces waning trine Mercury at 28 Cancer, moon void. The Moon is void of course for nearly 3.5 hours. State of the sky:- Today the Sun is at 4 degrees Cancer. Mercury and Mars are also in Cancer. Saturn and Pluto are in Capricorn. There are 88 days to the Equinox. We are in an eclipse season with a Total Solar Eclipse due on July 3rd and a partial lunar eclipse on July 16th. Mercury is an evening star in Cancer and will not finally leave this sign until August 11th, because of his forthcoming retrograde phase. Mercury is his shadow and his apparent speed is less than a degree per day. Mercury leaves Cancer the first time on June 27th and then turns retrograde at 4 Leo on July 7th. Mercury re-enters Cancer on July 19th and is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun at 28 Cancer on July 21st. Mercury has a merry meeting with Venus at 26 Cancer on July 25th. He turns direct again on August 1st at 24 Cancer and re-enters Leo on Aug 11th. The entire period is characterised by an intuitive and defensive air. The heart rules the head during the ensuing 10 weeks. Venus resides in Gemini. She enters Cancer on July 3rd 2019. She is at Superior Conjunct 'a Full Venus' on August 14th 2019 and is then an evening star for the remainder of 2019. She is retrograde from May 13th 2020 (at 22 Gemini) to June 25th 2020 (5 Gemini). Mars resides in Cancer. The emphasis is now on domestic, family, tribal, national matters. Thrift is to the fore as is defense, protection and support. Mars enters Leo on July 1st Jupiter is retrograde in Sagittarius. This is a visionary time. The motivation here is a need to move, to grow, to seek freedom, to expand and to 'open up'. Optimism, energy, forthrightness, faith in the future and expression of adventure are the hallmarks of the residence. Jupiter is retrograde in 2019 from April 10 to August 11. Jupiter made a waning square to Neptune, Jan 13th 2019, others follow on June 16th 2019 and Sept 21st 2019. This is the only major aspect of the residence and suggests a 'delusional unreal glamorous accompaniment' to this essentially jovial component of the nature of the skies in the year ahead. With Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, Jupiter in Sagittarius adds wit and wonderment before the inevitable astrological maelstrom of 2020 when he joins the two heavy weights in the sign of the goat. Jupiter is all the time moving towards the 2020 union with Saturn and Pluto in the last decan of Capricorn. Jupiter then moves on to conjunct Neptune at 24 degrees Pisces in 2022. The Grand Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurs on the Winter Solstice 2020. This will be a 'mutation conjunction'. It is the first of an unbroken series of Jupiter Saturn conjunctions in Air signs which extend till around 2140. Since 1840 all the Jupiter Saturn conjunctions have been in Earth signs, with the exception of the 1980-1981 triple conjunction. Saturn is retrograde (until September 18th) in Capricorn . The energy of Saturn in this sign is dense, practical, realistic, industrious on a huge scale, formative, establishing and sustaining. Saturn was last in Capricorn between 1988 and 1991. During the residence Saturn sextiles Neptune in Pisces three times during 2019, 31st Jan, 18th June and Nov 9th. All world religions face serious issues of faith, science and political change during these times. The most important aspect is Saturn conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. The are warlike connotations with this symbolism, this is a danger zone. The last time these two astrological heavy weights meet in Capricorn was in 1518, and before that in 1248. We are dealing here with 'forces majeure'. Saturn remains in Capricorn till Feb 17th 2020. Uranus the planet of inspiration and revolution is in Taurus the sign of enduring institution and banking. Uranus remains in Taurus for 7 years. Massive changes in the world of finance and ownership are about to take place. The last time Uranus resided in Taurus was between 1934 and 1941 and before that 1850 to 1859 the time of the Industrial Revolution. Neptune is now retrograde in Pisces he has been in this sign since 2011. Neptune will turn retrograde at 19 degrees Pisces on June 21 2019. Neptune in Pisces is symbolic of the greatest watery immersion in the deepest subliminal and spiritual ocean. Neptune is in its own sign of Pisces, a transit that only occurs every 165 years. Neptune rules Pisces and also rules the deepest realms of the subconscious mind. The oceanic vibration of love is flowing with a deeper and higher frequency. Our human mission is to flow with it. Art, music and science are enhanced with the progress of this residence. The blue hair we see these days is very Neptune in Pisces. Neptune enters Aries on March 30th 2025. Pluto is now retrograde in Capricorn at 22 degrees of that sign. Pluto is retrograde from April 24 until October 2. Saturn is conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. This is the 'serious zone'. The following astrological heavyweight event, later on in 2020, is the 'Grand Conjunction' of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurring on the Winter Solstice of that year, beckoning to a healthier 'New Age Feeling' just a little way beyond. Pluto enters Aquarius on March 23rd 2023. The next eclipse is a Total Solar Eclipse (passing through South America) on July 2nd 2019 at 11 Cancer (weakly opposite Saturn), followed by a Partial Lunar Eclipse (conjunct Pluto) at 24 Capricorn on July 16th 2019

A sharper witted day. Impulsive and more urgent than the last couple of days. 02.39 The Moon ingress Aries 05.10 Venus at 20 Gemini waning decile Mars at 26 Cancer 05.30 Mars at 26 Cancer waxing bi-novile Uranus at 6 Taurus 09.47 The Moon at Last Quarter

There are now quieter planetary dynamics as we approach the Total Solar Eclipse which occurs in six days time. There is considerable interest in the UK as this eclipse is conjunct the UK (1801 chart) MC and opposes the UK Sun. The eclipse is also conjunct the MC of Boris Johnson, assuming correct birth time, serving to put him in extreme focus and the center of attention. Accompanying transits to his chart notably transiting Pluto opposite his Mars/Pluto midpoint at the time of the UK Conservative Party leadership election result, suggest anything but a smooth ride to power, more likely are further revelations as to his past 'private life'. A real purge of his spirit is underway. Wednesday has a 'tough nut' mini crisis mid afternoon (GMT), but there is not too bad astrology today. 01.34 Venus at 21 Gemini waxing semi-square Uranus at 6 Taurus 13.21 The slowly accelerating last quarter Moon at 18 Aries waxing trine Jupiter at 18 Sagittarius 14:00 to 15:00 A tight Cardinal 'T' square forms involving the Moon, her node and Saturn. 14.39 The Moon at 18 Aries waxing square Saturn at 18 Capricorn 14.44 The Moon at 18 Aries squares her node at 18 Cancer from south of the ecliptic. 21.39 The Moon at 22 Aries waning sextile Venus at 22 Gemini 22.43 The Moon at 22 Aries waxing square Pluto at 22 Capricorn

00.21 Mercury ingresses Leo. Mercury turns retrograde at 4 Leo on July 7th. He then, almost immediately, falls into the onslaught of Mars on July 8th adding fire and brimstone to all communications at that time. Mercury re-enters Cancer on July 19th and is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun at 28 Cancer on July 21st. We have one lean and mean 22 days ahead with the full fury of 'self fueled thinking' doing a complete majestic and flamboyant about turn. Remarkable. 07.52 The last quarter Moon accelerating at 27 Aries waning square Mars at 27 Cancer.The Moon is void of course for 5.5 hours 08.21 Venus at 22 Gemini waxing quincunx Pluto at 22 Capricorn 10.10 Venus at 22 Gemini waxing tri-septile Saturn at 18 Capricorn 13.33 The Moon ingresses Taurus 14.24 The Moon at zero Taurus waning square Mercury at zero Leo 17.46 The Sun at 6 Cancer waxing sextile Uranus at 6 Taurus

Four days to the Total Solar Eclipse. Special days. Sun in Cancer, Moon in Taurus today. Traditional and protective vibes. Nurturing and nourishing. Standing your ground, unyielding. We all know, (don't we?) that the date set for the UK leaving the EU, October 31st 2019, is the day Mercury turns retrograde. The last Full Moon hit Angela Merkel's natal Mars. She's been shaking and poorly ever since. Get well soon. 00.35 The Moon conjunction Uranus at 6 Taurus 01.07 The Moon accelerating at 6 Taurus waning sextile The Sun at 6 Cancer 16.46 The Sun at 7 Cancer waxing tri-decile Neptune at 19 Pisces 21.56 The Moon at 17 Taurus waxing quincunx Jupiter at 17 Sagittarius 23.21 The Moon at 18 Taurus waxing trine Saturn at 18 Capricorn 23.31 The Moon at 18 Taurus waning sextile her node from south of the ecliptic. The weekend ahead sees a rock solid Saturday followed by a 'buzzy' Sunday. There you go.

The procession to the New Moon and Total Solar Eclipse now begins in earnest. 18.39 The Moon at 29 Taurus waning sextile Mars at 29 Cancer, moon void 21.11 The Moon ingresses Gemini joining Venus in this sign.

Two days to the Total Solar Eclipse. Verbals and diversity a plenty today. A pre-eclipse buzz in the air, something coming on and just around the corner. 00.52 The accelerating balsamic Moon at 2 Gemini waning sextile Mercury at 2 Leo 02.07 Mercury at 2 Leo waning sesuiquadrate Jupiter at 17 Sagittarius 12.06 Saturn at 18 Capricorn waning tri-decile Uranus at 6 Taurus. The second of three. This is a minor aspect in the 44 year cycle of these two planets. The first was on Christmas day 2018, the second is today June 30th 2019, the final one is Nov 10th 2019. The cycle symbolising 'spiritual strength', started in 1988 in Sagittarius, climaxed from 2008 to 2010 across Virgo Pisces, is at 'last quarter aspect' in 2021 from Aquarius to Taurus, and ends in 2032 in late Gemini. The waning tri-decile aspect prepares the way for the crisis of the last quarter phase in 2 years time. 18.16 Mercury at 2 Leo waxing decile Venus at 26 Gemini 18.55 Venus at 27 Gemini waxing tri-septile Pluto at 22 Capricorn

Today is the day before the eclipse. The ancient pre-eclipse Moon struggles jumpily through Gemini today but is conjunct Venus tonight(GMT) raising the game and consciousness, and leading us to a point of potential receptivity to new energy. 03:00 to 07:00 A Mutable 'T' square forms involving the very old Moon, Jupiter and Neptune. 03.06 The Moon at 17 Gemini opposition Jupiter at 17 Sagittarius 04.35 The Moon at 18 Gemini waxing quincunx Saturn at 18 Capricorn 06.04 The Moon at 19 Gemini waxing square Neptune at 19 Pisces 09.38 Venus at 27 Gemini waxing septile Uranus at 6 Taurus 12.07 The Moon at 22 Gemini waxing quincunx Pluto at 22 Capricorn 20.03 Venus at 28 Gemini waxing quad-novile Saturn at 18 Capricorn 21.49 The Moon conjunction Venus at 28 Gemini, moon void 23.21 Mars ingresses Leo joining Mercury in this sign. Mars resides in Leo for 48 days. He is conjunct retrograde Mercury on July 8th at 4 Leo, providing us with communication fireworks at that time. Mars squares Uranus on July 11th, engendering disturbances of activity, possible crazy scenes, and he 'fire trines' Jupiter on July 25th which is far more uplifting and expansive. Mars leaves Leo for Virgo on August 18th. We can sigh with relief when Mars leaves Cancer, he is never happy in the emotional turbulence of that sign and in Leo he pulls out all the stops and pushes for glory and creativity, no expense spared. He acts with flamboyance and playfulness. State of the sky:- Today the Sun is at 9 degrees Cancer. Mars is also in Cancer, although Mars leaves Cancer tonight. Saturn and Pluto are in Capricorn. The Moon and Venus are in Gemini. There are 81 days to the Equinox. We are deeply immersed in an eclipse season with a Total Solar Eclipse due tomorrow and a partial lunar eclipse on July 16th. Mercury is an evening star in Leo. Mercury is in his shadow and his apparent speed is less than a degree per day. Mercury turns retrograde at 4 Leo on July 7th. He then, almost immediately, falls into the onslaught of Mars on July 8th adding fire and brimstone to all communications at that time. Mercury re-enters Cancer on July 19th and is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun at 28 Cancer on July 21st. Mercury has a merry meeting with Venus at 26 Cancer on July 25th. He turns direct again on August 1st at 24 Cancer and re-enters Leo on Aug 11th. Venus resides in Gemini. She enters Cancer on July 3rd 2019. She is at Superior Conjunction 'a Full Venus' on August 14th 2019 and is then an evening star for the remainder of 2019. She is retrograde from May 13th 2020 (at 22 Gemini) to June 25th 2020 (5 Gemini). Mars enters Leo tonight. See above. Jupiter is retrograde in Sagittarius. This is a visionary time. The motivation here is a need to move, to grow, to seek freedom, to expand and to 'open up'. Optimism, energy, forthrightness, faith in the future and expression of adventure are the hallmarks of the residence. Jupiter is retrograde in 2019 from April 10 to August 11. Jupiter made a waning square to Neptune, Jan 13th 2019, others follow on June 16th 2019 and Sept 21st 2019. This is the only major aspect of the residence and suggests a 'delusional unreal glamorous accompaniment' to this essentially jovial component of the nature of the skies in the year ahead. With Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, Jupiter in Sagittarius adds wit and wonderment before the inevitable astrological maelstrom of 2020 when he joins the two heavy weights in the sign of the goat. Jupiter is all the time moving towards the 2020 union with Saturn and Pluto in the last decan of Capricorn. Jupiter then moves on to conjunct Neptune at 24 degrees Pisces in 2022. The Grand Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurs on the Winter Solstice 2020. This will be a 'mutation conjunction'. It is the first of an unbroken series of Jupiter Saturn conjunctions in Air signs which extend till around 2140. Since 1840 all the Jupiter Saturn conjunctions have been in Earth signs, with the exception of the 1980-1981 triple conjunction. Saturn is retrograde (until September 18th) in Capricorn . The energy of Saturn in this sign is dense, practical, realistic, industrious on a huge scale, formative, establishing and sustaining. Saturn was last in Capricorn between 1988 and 1991. During the residence Saturn sextiles Neptune in Pisces three times during 2019, 31st Jan, 18th June and Nov 9th. All world religions face serious issues of faith, science and political change during these times. The most important aspect is Saturn conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. The are warlike connotations with this symbolism, this is a danger zone. The last time these two astrological heavy weights meet in Capricorn was in 1518, and before that in 1248. We are dealing here with 'forces majeure'. Saturn remains in Capricorn till Feb 17th 2020. Uranus the planet of inspiration and revolution is in Taurus the sign of enduring institution and banking. Uranus remains in Taurus for 7 years. Massive changes in the world of finance and ownership are about to take place. The last time Uranus resided in Taurus was between 1934 and 1941 and before that 1850 to 1859 the time of the Industrial Revolution. Neptune is now retrograde in Pisces he has been in this sign since 2011. Neptune will turn retrograde at 19 degrees Pisces on June 21 2019. Neptune in Pisces is symbolic of the greatest watery immersion in the deepest subliminal and spiritual ocean. Neptune is in its own sign of Pisces, a transit that only occurs every 165 years. Neptune rules Pisces and also rules the deepest realms of the subconscious mind. The oceanic vibration of love is flowing with a deeper and higher frequency. Our human mission is to flow with it. Art, music and science are enhanced with the progress of this residence. The blue hair we see these days is very Neptune in Pisces. Neptune enters Aries on March 30th 2025. Pluto is now retrograde in Capricorn at 22 degrees of that sign. Pluto is retrograde from April 24 until October 2. Saturn is conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. This is the 'serious zone'. The following astrological heavyweight event, later on in 2020, is the 'Grand Conjunction' of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurring on the Winter Solstice of that year, beckoning to a healthier 'New Age Feeling' just a little way beyond. Pluto enters Aquarius on March 23rd 2023. The next eclipse is a Total Solar Eclipse (passing through South America) on July 2nd 2019 at 11 Cancer (weakly opposite Saturn), followed by a Partial Lunar Eclipse (conjunct Pluto) at 24 Capricorn on July 16th 2019

01.25 The Moon ingresses Cancer joining the Sun in this sign. 11.27 The Moon at 6 Cancer waxing sextile Uranus at 6 Taurus

Total Solar Eclipse 11 degrees Cancer 19-23 GMT visible from southern South America.

Timings of the eclipse. Penumbral first contact 16:55:08 Umbral phase first contact 18:01:04 Greatest Eclipse 19:22:53 Umbral phase last contact 20:44:44 Penumbral last contact 21:50:53 Today's Total Solar Eclipse is placed at 11 degrees Cancer and is in wide sextile to Uranus, wide opposition to Saturn, and wide trine to Neptune. Saturn sextiles Neptune, Jupiter is square Neptune (hall marks of 2019) and Mercury applies to Mars in early Leo square Uranus. This event is possibly 'the astrological event of the year'. From the UK perspective this eclipse is conjunct the UK (1801 chart) MC and opposes the UK Sun, so we can expect considerable tension here. This eclipse is member 58 of the 82 eclipses which comprise solar saros 127. This first eclipse of this Saros Cycle was on Oct 10th 0991 with a maximum eclipse time of 14:31 UT. The chart for this moment arbitrarily set for London is shown below.

This saros 'went total in 1352. The saros peaked with the longest total solar eclipse in 1532. Today's event is the 5th last of the 42 Total Eclipses. The saros ends in 2453. This Saros Cycle has a 'War and Peace' quality. The chart of that first partial solar eclipse was in Libra with Neptune and the north node. Saturn and Uranus were conjunct on the Capricorn Aquarius cusp coloring all with a mixture of resounding authority and exciting discovery. Mercury and Venus were in Scorpio, square Saturn, conferring seriousness and vengefulness on the saros. Eclipses of this Saros 'presided' over the start of the Cold War (1947), the start of the Sri Lankan civil war (1983), the death of Napoleon (1821), New York stock exchange falls, (1893 and 1929), the birth of the dollar (1893), mining accidents (2001 and 1965), earthquakes (2001 and 1929) and the Indian independence struggle (1947 and 1929), UFO reports (1947). I can't get no satisfaction was released by the Rolling Stones 8 days after the 1965 eclipse. The last eclipse in this saros, June 21st 2001 was three months before the 9-11 event but it was the partial lunar eclipse two weeks later on July 5th 2001 which signaled the death and destruction at New York with Mars and Pluto on the IC of that city at the maximum eclipse point. At the moment of greatest eclipse today, the Sun and Moon are rising over Japan and are setting at Berlin, Jupiter culminates at Baghdad, Saturn at New Delhi, Neptune at Brisbane. Venus rises over Korea and sets at London. Uranus sets at Washington and at Havana. Jupiter rises at Asuncion, Mars sets at Lagos. The eclipse today opposes the UK Sun, and opposes the German Sun. IT IS CONJUNCT THE HONG KONG HANDOVER CHART SUN. It is conjunct the Moon of Spain, the Mercury of Greece, the Venus of Thailand, the MC of Japan, the Moon and Pluto of Ireland, the Jupiter of Yemen, the Pluto of the BBC, the node of Michelle Obama, the Sun of Julian Assange and Jerry Hall, the Venus of Kate Bush and the Jupiter of Rupert Murdock, the Uranus of the Steve Hillage generation. It is conjunct the MC of Boris Johnson, (assuming correct birth time), and squares the Saturn of Michael Gove. Today's eclipse is a powerful event, setting the atmosphere of the world stage for months ahead. It is a nurturing and nourishing affair and quite a big cog within a huge machine. There is hope that we can find some inspiration in its delivery.

Now the Total Solar Eclipse is over and we enter the Eclipse Fortnight. The recent events in Hong Kong,(Eclipse conjunct Hong Kong 'hand over' chart Sun), the symbolic overtures on the DMZ in Korea with D.Trump and Kim Jon, (Eclipse conjunct USA/N.Korea relationship Venus), the ongoing Conservative Leadership Election in the UK,(eclipse conjunct Boris Johnson's MC, sextile Hunt's Mars) and the humanitarian situation on the Mexican border of the USA (eclipse conjunct USA Sun), are the events which future astrological historians will link to this eclipse. No doubt there will be other events in the days ahead to include. A sensitive day , with a thick skin, is ahead of us. 05.29 Today the infant New Moon moving fast and accelerating at 17 Cancer waning quincunx Jupiter at 17 Sagittarius 07.02 The Moon at 18 Cancer opposition Saturn at 18 Capricorn 07.19 The Moon conjunction her node at 18 Cancer 08.41 The Moon at 19 Cancer waxing trine Neptune at 19 Pisces 11.47 Mercury, appearing to move very slowly at 4 Leo, 4 days from his retrograde station and sensing the approach of Mars, waxing sesuiquadrate Neptune at 19 Pisces 14.25 The Moon at 22 Cancer opposition Pluto at 22 Capricorn. The Moon is void of course for a lengthy 13 hours. 15.20 Venus ingresses Cancer joining the Moon and the Sun in this sign. Venus resides in Cancer as an morning star for only 25 days. Venus sextiles Uranus on July 8th, a novel financial solution, opposes saturn on July 17th and opposes Pluto on July 21st, which are the testing days of the residence. Venus is conjunct retrograde Mercury on July 25th at 26 Cancer, the merry meeting. Venus enters Leo on July 28th. She is at Superior Conjunction with the Sun, 'a Full Venus' on August 14th 2019 and is then an evening star for the remainder of 2019. She is retrograde from May 13th 2020 (at 22 Gemini) to June 25th 2020 (5 Gemini). Venus in Cancer is tender, caring, motherly, clingy and protective. Kind vibes here. A Lunar occultation of Mars is now imminent.

An unlooked for 'fire impulse' takes us rapidly to a new level. The baby Moon takes on Mars and Mercury today in the temple of Leo. 03.21 The rapidly waxing infant Moon ingresses Leo 05.42 The Moon conjunction Mars at 1 Leo. This manifests as a 'lunar occultation of Mars', focussed on the area on world map below. This is post eclipse fine tuning of a colourful quality.

09.51 The Moon conjunction Mercury at 4 Leo. 'Yer knows where yer stands.' 12.33Mars at 2 Leo waning sesuiquadrate Jupiter at 17 Sagittarius 13.12 The Moon at 6 Leo waxing square Uranus at 6 Taurus 14.12 The Sun at 12 Cancer waning tri-septile Jupiter at 17 Sagittarius 21.24 Venus at 2 Cancer waxing bi-septile Neptune at 19 Pisces

The following three days see Mars in Leo gaining on, catching, overturning and vanquishing Mercury. Let it all take you where it will. Full on, no holding back, true colours. A brazen day. 04.54 The young Moon in Leo is at perigee, fastest and nearest to the Earth all month. 06.25 The Moon at 17 Leo waning trine Jupiter at 17 Sagittarius.The moon is then void of course for 22 hours. 08.02 The Moon at 18 Leo waning quincunx Saturn at 18 Capricorn 08.48 Venus at 2 Cancer waxing quad-novile Pluto at 22 Capricorn 09.54 The Moon at 19 Leo waxing quincunx Neptune at 19 Pisces 10.32 Venus at 2 Cancer waning semi-sextile Mars at 2 Leo 15.31 The Moon at 22 Leo waning quincunx Pluto at 22 Capricorn

The rapidly waxing young Moon is void of course in fun seeking Leo on Friday night till 04:27 GMT Saturday.

Once it gets going this day is potentially very productive and practical.

Another 'Moon in Virgo' practical day. This is colored by Mercury, almost stationary and about to be overtaken by Mars, in 'full on' Leo. Just roll up your sleeves and get on with it I guess, no need to waste time talking. 04.50 The rapidly waxing crescent Moon at 15 Virgo waxing sextile The Sun at 15 Cancer 06.26 Mercury at 4 Leo waxing semi-sextile Venus at 4 Cancer 07:00 to 12:00 A Mutable 'T' square forms involving the Moon, Jupiter and Neptune. 07.21 The Moon at 16 Virgo waning square Jupiter at 16 Sagittarius 09.05 The Moon at 17 Virgo waning trine Saturn at 17 Capricorn 09.30 The Moon at 18 Virgo sextiles her node from north of the equator. 11.11 The Moon at 19 Virgo opposition Neptune at 19 Pisces 16.51 The Moon at 22 Virgo waning trine Pluto at 22 Capricorn.The moon is then void of course for nearly 13 hours. 17.15 Mars at 4 Leo waxing sesuiquadrate Neptune at 19 Pisces

We are deeply immersed in an eclipse fortnight with only six days to a Partial Lunar Eclipse. Today from 09.30 GMT the Moon enters Scorpio and a battlefield of intransigent wills and hard unyielding words. Mars is square Uranus tomorrow which throws erratic actions into the mix. A 'hard case' couple of days now ensue. 00.25 The Sun at 18 Cancer conjunction the lunar node at 18 Cancer (Eclipse season marker). 09.30 The Moon ingresses Scorpio 16:00 to 20:30 A Fixed T-square forms involving the Moon, retro-Mercury, Mars, and Uranus. 16.48 The Moon at 4 Scorpio waxing square Mercury at 4 Leo 17.40 The Sun at 18 Cancer waxing quintile Uranus at 6 Taurus 19.21 The Moon at 6 Scorpio waxing square Mars at 6 Leo 20.22 The Moon at 6 Scorpio opposition Uranus at 6 Taurus

The first was on Jan 17th 2019, the second one is today July 11th and the last one is Aug 28th. The 13 year 'power' cycle between Jupiter and Pluto started in Dec 2007 in Sagittarius and ends in 2020 in Capricorn. The 'waning decile' aspect, manifest towards the very end of the cycle, epitomizes of the best and the worst of the old cycle. We are dealing here with subsiding power structures. Jupiter is conjunct Pluto 3 times next year and is one of the hallmarks of the year. 15.42 The Moon at 17 Scorpio waning sextile Saturn at 17 Capricorn 16:00 to 20:00 A Water Grand Trine forms involving the Moon, the Sun, the node and Neptune.

The Mars Uranus square of recent days has coincided with the UK raising the threat to British shipping in Iranian waters in the Gulf to the highest level, where the risk of attack is critical. The step was taken on Tuesday, amid growing tensions in the region. On Wednesday, Iranian boats tried to impede a British oil tanker in the region, before being driven off by a Royal Navy ship.

Lunar pressures are rising. A fast moving, diverse, far reaching couple of days are at hand. The Moon is in Sagittarius this weekend. We approach a partial Lunar Eclipse on Tuesday. Climatic days are imminent.

00.59 The decelerating Moon reaches her waxing gibbous phase The procession to the forthcoming Partial Lunar Eclipse now begins in earnest. 01.09 Venus at 12 Cancer waning tri-septile Jupiter at 16 Sagittarius 02.34 The Moon at 6 Sagittarius waning quincunx Uranus at 6 Taurus 04.10 The Moon at 7 Sagittarius waxing trine Mars at 7 Leo 13.31 The Moon at 12 Sagittarius waxing quincunx Venus at 12 Cancer 20.12 The Moon conjunction Jupiter at 16 Sagittarius

Two days to the Partial Lunar Eclipse. Excited Moon in Sagittarius energy again today. Pluto is at opposition, an annual event, full illuminated transformation. 01.31 The Moon at 19 Sagittarius waning square Neptune at 19 Pisces, moon void for almost 22 hours. 07.09 The Moon at 22 Sagittarius waxing quincunx The Sun at 22 Cancer 10.00 The Sun at 22 Cancer waning biquintile Jupiter at 16 Sagittarius 14.52 The Sun at 22 Cancer opposition Pluto at 22 Capricorn 23.06 The Moon ingresses Capricorn joining Saturn and Pluto in this sign.

Today's eclipse is separating from a conjunction with Pluto, announcing and revealing changed circumstances. Venus opposes Saturn and trines Neptune. There is a romantic drama unfolding with this one and a hue of disappointment or misgiving. There is zero air and a predominance of Cardinal Earth which ensures experiences accompanying this event are all 'braun and no brain'. Timings of the eclipse. Penumbral phase starts 18:43:53 (UT) Partial phase starts 20:01:43 (UT) Greatest Eclipse 21:31:55 (UT) Partial phase ends 22:59:39 (UT) Penumbral phase ends 00:17:36 (UT) The eclipse is visible from south America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia.

The Sun and Moon align to Addis Abada, Mars is at lower culmination under Iran. The Sun, Moon, Mercury and Pluto star Melbourne. Jupiter rises at New York, Neptune rises at Frankfurt. Today's eclipse hits the natal Sun of Saudi Arabia, the MC of the South African Republic, the Mercury of Indonesia, the Jupiter of Benjamin Netanyahu, the Jupiter of Arsen Wenger, the Venus of Jim Carrey, the Mars of Ginger Baker. It opposes the USA Mercury, and opposes Donald Trump's Saturn, sextiles Jeremy Hunt's Saturn and trines Michael Gove's Uranus. Lunar Saros 139 Today's eclipse is member 22 of the 81 lunar eclipses which comprise Lunar Saros 139. This series began with a penumbral lunar eclipse on Dec 9th 1658. The moment of greatest eclipse was at 20:10:47 LMT. The chart for this moment arbitrarily set for London is shown above. The series will 'go total' in 2073, peak in the year 2199 with the longest Total Eclipse, and end in the year 3065. That first chart, setting the tone of the whole Saros, was in Gemini and like today's eclipse was conjunct Pluto. Mercury trined Jupiter, Air and Fire predominated. This Saros has a Vibrating feel to it. Still in its youth it already has revealed a heated energising quality. Air crashes seem to surround these eclipses, more frequent than usual. The last eclipse is the Saros was a partial lunar eclipse on July 5th 2001 which in retrospect signaled the death and destruction at New York, two months later with the 9 11 event. Mars and Pluto were on the IC of New York at the moment of greatest eclipse. Lunar Saros 139 releases a Pluto in Gemini quality, transformation with transport, powerful communication, and intellectual advancement. Today's eclipse in Capricorn occurs at a time when Saturn and Pluto are in this sign. This has profound implications on the world stage. Military strategy is under scrutiny and review, structural changes are coming. Such is the flavor of this time we live in. The eclipse sequence take us past midnight (GMT).

The hung over full moon in post eclipse trauma wanes and decelerates void of course in late Capricorn as the (GMT) day starts. Shades of sadness engulf us as Venus opposes Saturn. Melancholia. 05.35 Venus at 17 Cancer opposition Saturn at 17 Capricorn A day of destiny ensues. 09.20 The Moon ingresses Aquarius 11.39 The Moon at 1 Aquarius opposition retro-Mercury at 1 Leo 14.11 Venus conjunction the lunar node at 17 Cancer (approx) 15:00 The Moon at 3 Aquarius, the node, Jupiter and Uranus form 4 points of a pentagon.

Another day geared to community, care and concern. 07.08 Retrograde 'evening star' Mercury ingresses back into Cancer He is currently an 'old Mercury', at the very end of his cycle, thoughtforms have almost run their course. Mercury is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun at 28 Cancer on Sunday. Mercury has a merry meeting with Venus at 26 Cancer on July 25th. He turns direct again on August 1st at 24 Cancer and re-enters Leo on Aug 11th. 07.55 The Sun at 26 Cancer waxing bi-novile Uranus at 6 Taurus 14.34 The very slowly waning full Moon at 27 Aquarius waning quincunx The Sun at 27 Cancer 20.34 The Moon at 30 Aquarius waning quincunx Mercury at 30 Cancer 21.21 The Moon ingresses Pisces joining Neptune in this sign.

A 'New Mercury'. Start of a new chapter in the story. 15.11 Mars at 12 Leo waxing biquintile Neptune at 18 Pisces 17.19 The Moon at 22 Pisces waxing sextile Pluto at 22 Capricorn 18.21 The Moon at 22 Pisces waning trine Venus at 22 Cancer

Today is the last full day of the astrological month of Cancer. 05.59 The slowly disseminating Moon accelerating at 28 Pisces waning trine Mercury at 28 Cancer 08.35 The Moon at 29 Pisces waning trine The Sun at 29 Cancer, moon void 10.04 The Moon ingresses Aries The Moon, no longer void, burns through today with assertion, waning in Aries. State of the sky:- Today the Sun is at 29 degrees Cancer and enters Leo tomorrow. Retro-Mercury and Venus are also in Cancer. Saturn and Pluto are in Capricorn. There are 74 days to the Equinox. We are begining to pull out of the eclipse season after a Total Solar Eclipse on July 2nd and a Partial Lunar Eclipse on July 16th. Mercury is a retrograde morning star in Cancer. Mercury has a merry meeting with Venus at 26 Cancer on Thursday. He turns direct again on August 1st at 24 Cancer and re-enters Leo on Aug 11th. Venus resides in Cancer and is also a morning star. Venus is conjunct retrograde Mercury on July 25th at 26 Cancer, the merry meeting. Venus enters Leo on July 28th. She is at Superior Conjunction with the Sun, 'a Full Venus' on August 14th 2019 and is then an evening star for the remainder of 2019. She is retrograde from May 13th 2020 (at 22 Gemini) to June 25th 2020 (5 Gemini). Venus in Cancer is tender, caring, motherly, clingy and protective. Kind vibes here. Mars is in Leo. He 'fire trines' Jupiter on July 25th which is uplifting and expansive. Mars leaves Leo for Virgo on August 18th. In Leo Mars pulls out all the stops and pushes for glory and creativity, no expense spared. He acts with flamboyance and playfulness. Jupiter is retrograde in Sagittarius. This is a visionary time. The motivation here is a need to move, to grow, to seek freedom, to expand and to 'open up'. Optimism, energy, forthrightness, faith in the future and expression of adventure are the hallmarks of the residence. Jupiter is retrograde in 2019 from April 10 to August 11. Jupiter made a waning square to Neptune, Jan 13th 2019, another followed on June 16th 2019 and the last is on Sept 21st 2019. This is the only major aspect of the residence and suggests a 'delusional unreal glamorous accompaniment' to this essentially jovial component of the nature of the skies in the year ahead. With Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, Jupiter in Sagittarius adds wit and wonderment before the inevitable astrological maelstrom of 2020 when he joins the two heavy weights in the sign of the goat. Jupiter is all the time moving towards the 2020 union with Saturn and Pluto in the last decan of Capricorn. Jupiter then moves on to conjunct Neptune at 24 degrees Pisces in 2022. The Grand Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurs on the Winter Solstice 2020. This will be a 'mutation conjunction'. It is the first of an unbroken series of Jupiter Saturn conjunctions in Air signs which extend till around 2140. Since 1840 all the Jupiter Saturn conjunctions have been in Earth signs, with the exception of the 1980-1981 triple conjunction. Saturn is retrograde (until September 18th) in Capricorn . The energy of Saturn in this sign is dense, practical, realistic, industrious on a huge scale, formative, establishing and sustaining. Saturn was last in Capricorn between 1988 and 1991. During the residence Saturn sextiles Neptune in Pisces three times during 2019, 31st Jan, 18th June and Nov 9th. All world religions face serious issues of faith, science and political change during these times. The most important aspect is Saturn conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. The are warlike connotations with this symbolism, this is a danger zone. The last time these two astrological heavy weights meet in Capricorn was in 1518, and before that in 1248. We are dealing here with 'forces majeure'. Saturn remains in Capricorn till Feb 17th 2020. Uranus the planet of inspiration and revolution is in Taurus the sign of enduring institution and banking. Uranus remains in Taurus for 7 years. Massive changes in the world of finance and ownership are about to take place. The last time Uranus resided in Taurus was between 1934 and 1941 and before that 1850 to 1859 the time of the Industrial Revolution. Neptune is now retrograde in Pisces he has been in this sign since 2011. Neptune turned retrograde at 19 degrees Pisces on June 21 2019. Neptune in Pisces is symbolic of the greatest watery immersion in the deepest subliminal and spiritual ocean. Neptune is in its own sign of Pisces, a transit that only occurs every 165 years. Neptune rules Pisces and also rules the deepest realms of the subconscious mind. The oceanic vibration of love is flowing with a deeper and higher frequency. Our human mission is to flow with it. Art, music and science are enhanced with the progress of this residence. The blue hair we see these days is very Neptune in Pisces. Neptune enters Aries on March 30th 2025. Pluto is now retrograde in Capricorn at 22 degrees of that sign. Pluto is retrograde from April 24 until October 2. Saturn is conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. This is the 'serious zone'. The following astrological heavyweight event, later on in 2020, is the 'Grand Conjunction' of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurring on the Winter Solstice of that year, beckoning to a healthier 'New Age Feeling' just a little way beyond. Pluto enters Aquarius on March 23rd 2023. The next eclipse is an Annular Solar Eclipse at 4 Capricorn (conjunct Jupiter) on Boxing day 2019. The next lunar eclipse in a penumbral lunar eclipse at 20 Cancer (opposite Mercury) on Jan 10th 2020. The next Total Solar Eclipse is at 23 Sagittarius (conjunct Mercury square neptune) on Dec 14th 2020. The next Total Lunar Eclipse is at 5 Sagittarius on May 26th 2021, not visible from the UK. The next solar eclipse visible from the UK is at 20 Gemini on June 10th 2021. The next Total Lunar eclipse visible from the UK is at 26 Scorpio, during the early hours of May 16th 2022.

The chart above is that of the start of the Boris Johnson Government. A blustering wilful Scorpio ascendant sextile Saturn. Fiercely determined. Zero Air in the chart, plenty of cardinality, sheer force of propulsion but devoid of logic. Emotional, defensive, touchy. Almost last quarter Moon square (retrograde) Mercury and Venus in 9th house.The Sun and Mars in Leo also there, an uncompromising audacious stance, incurring legal issues and foreign policy problems. Kite pattern focused on the lunar nodal axis, dynamic, fateful, self undoing and emotional. Jupiter in the 2nd house, larger than life finances, Moon and Uranus in the 6th house, sharp changes with workers, health services, care. A challengingly occupied 3rd house indicating transport and communication hindrances. Retrograde Mercury conjunct Venus is temporally popular, whimsical, unstable. Mars 'fire trine' Jupiter is a blast of optimism. This is a high octane, fully incentive, overly rich, possibly short lived government chart. The Moon is now (Thursday) in Taurus. A more stable day. Fixed, resolute and traditional. Mars trine Jupiter enthuse us with new adventure. 00.27 Retrograde Mercury conjunction Venus at 26 Cancer 01.19 The Moon at Last Quarter 05.21 Venus at 26 Cancer waxing bi-novile Uranus at 6 Taurus 10.17 The Moon at 6 Taurus conjunction Uranus at 6 Taurus 12.23 Mars at 15 Leo waning trine Jupiter at 15 Sagittarius

Openings and diversification of focus. Many levels of operation. 14.17 The Moon at 4 Gemini waning sextile The Sun at 4 Leo 22.42 Venus at 30 Cancer waning sesuiquadrate Jupiter at 15 Sagittarius

01.55 Venus, a morning star, ingresses Leo joining Mars and the Sun in this sign. Just to add to the heat, a wild fire of love and money. Venus lives here for 23 days, and is essentially on the chase of Mars whom she will meet in Virgo on Aug 24th at 4 Virgo. She squares Uranus on Aug 2nd, doing then for herself what the Sun does today, that is upset the status quo, trines Jupiter on Aug 8th with an abundance of lavish generosity, and is at Superior Conjunction with the Sun (a Full Venus) at 21 Leo on Aug 14th, and is then an evening star for the remainder of 2019. Venus leaves Leo for Virgo on Aug 21st. She is retrograde from May 13th 2020 (at 22 Gemini) to June 25th 2020 (5 Gemini). Venus in Leo is the Queen Lioness, proud, strong, resplendent.

Moon, Saturn and Pluto. A potential 'dangerous time'. 15.25 The Moon at 18 Gemini waxing square Neptune at 18 Pisces, moon void The Moon is then void of course for nearly 20 hours. 19.00 The Moon reaches her balsamic phase. The procession to the New Moon then begins in earnest. 20.58 The Moon at 22 Gemini waxing quincunx Pluto at 22 Capricorn

Sun square Uranus.

The Leo Sun squares Uranus in Taurus, peaking very late(GMT) today. A revolutionary challenge, and a clash of wills would seem inevitable.

03.13 Moment of NEW MOON square Uranus, conjunct Venus. New Moon energy. The Sun, the Moon, Venus and Mars are all in Leo. Majestic energy abounds. Then Mercury can turn direct and the events and decisions and votes of the past few weeks can be re-visited and corrected. This New Moon is the first since the Total Solar Eclipse in Cancer on July 2nd, and the 5th one before the Annular Solar Eclipse at 4 degrees Capricorn, conjunct Jupiter, on Boxing day 2019, the 'Singapore ring of fire'. Today's New Moon is in Leo with the Sun, Venus and Mars. The New Moon squares Uranus and is conjunct Venus. We have at this time a preponderance of planets in Fire signs with nothing at all in Air. Five planets are in Fixed signs. This New Moon is the 'I wanna be adored' lunation. Self is at the centre desperate for affection, this one has no compromise and, with the 'Venus square to Uranus' aspect, a sparky edge. At the moment of New Moon, the Sun and Moon are rising over Eastern Europe, culminating over Japan, and it is Sunset at San Francisco. Saturn culminates at Boston and over Haiti. Mercury about to turn direct is conjunct the ascendant of London opposite Pluto. Turn of the tide here in the UK. Boris was voted in during Mercury in retrograde. This New Moon hits the Pluto of the Keith Richards' generation, including that of Donald Trump, the Uranus of the Stephen Fry generation, the Saturn lunar node, and IC of Jamaica, keep your eyes on that one, the Mercury of Cyprus, the Sun of Antonio Conte and Steve Hillage, the Jupiter of Ben Stokes and of Keir Starmer.

A possible surprising and unlooked for development is on the cards this morning as Venus squares Uranus. A touch nervy. 07.05 The very young Moon, void of course as this(GMT)day starts, is at perigee, fastest and nearest to the Earth all month. 10.01 Venus at 7 Leo waxing square Uranus at 7 Taurus 13.22 The Moon ingresses Virgo. The day changes gear. Preparation and method are in order 23.50 The Moon at 7 Virgo waxing trine Uranus at 7 Taurus

Another practically-based 'tear and repair' day. Certainly things get done. Events and experiences are developing quickly now with Mercury slowly picking up speed. Venus in Leo is on the chase of Mars, also in Leo, whom she will meet in Virgo on Aug 24th at 4 degrees of that sign. The young Moon rapidly waxing in 'business like' Virgo challenges Neptune today. 12.40 The Moon at 15 Virgo square Jupiter at 15 Sagittarius 14.03 The Moon at 15 Virgo waning trine Saturn at 15 Capricorn 15.13 The Moon at 16 Virgo sextiles her node from north of the ecliptic. 18.31 The Moon at 18 Virgo opposition Neptune at 18 Pisces 19.27 The Sun at 11 Leo waning tri-septile Saturn at 15 Capricorn 23.36 The Moon at 21 Virgo waning trine Pluto at 21 Capricorn

There have been two mass shootings in the USA in 24 hours. 29 fatalities in all so far. Transiting Uranus is hovering squaring the US lunar node this month, stirring up a political hornet's nest. Globally the transiting Mars/Pluto midpoint is exactly opposite transiting Uranus (sudden violence)in the next few days across Taurus/Scorpio. Because of these mass shootings, 'gun control' may well will be a major 2020 election issue. The USA (Sibly) chart is sure under increasing stress this year. Progressed Moon in Capricorn is entering a progressed cardinal cross which lasts for the remainder of 2019. US Progressed Moon opposes progressed Jupiter, (amplifying the existing polarisation) Oct 2nd 2019, squares progressed Mars, (aggravating public life) 5th Dec 2019, and squares progressed Chiron (wounding) 12th Dec 2019. Transiting Pluto will oppose the US natal Mercury (overwhelming changes) all through 2020. The US progressed Moon enters Aquarius on Nov 3rd 2020 the very day of the 2020 US Election. Today... striking a fine balance.. 00.17 The waxing crescent Moon decelerating at 7 Libra waxing quincunx Uranus at 7 Taurus 06.01 The Moon at 10 Libra waxing sextile Venus at 10 Leo 10.25 The Moon at 13 Libra waxing sextile The Sun at 13 Leo 13.28 The Moon at 15 Libra waning sextile Jupiter at 15 Sagittarius 21:00 to 06:00 A cardinal 'T' square forms involving the Moon, her node and Saturn. 14.47 The Moon at 15 Libra waning square Saturn at 15 Capricorn 16.01 The Moon at 16 Libra squares her node from north of the ecliptic. 19.34 The Moon at 18 Libra waning quincunx Neptune at 18 Pisces State of the sky:- Today the Sun is at 13 degrees Leo and is trine Jupiter on Wednesday. Venus and Mars are also in Leo. Saturn and Pluto are in Capricorn. There are 47 days to the Equinox. We are leaving the eclipse season after a Total Solar Eclipse on July 2nd and a Partial Lunar Eclipse on July 16th. Mercury is now a direct morning star in Cancer. He re-enters Leo on Aug 11th. Venus, a morning star, is in Leo with Mars and the Sun in this sign. This is a wild fire of love and money. Venus is essentially on the chase of Mars whom she will meet in Virgo on Aug 24th at 4 Virgo. She trines Jupiter on Aug 8th with an abundance of lavish generosity, and is at Superior Conjunction with the Sun (a Full Venus) at 21 Leo on Aug 14th, and is then an evening star for the remainder of 2019. Venus leaves Leo for Virgo on Aug 21st. She is retrograde from May 13th 2020 (at 22 Gemini) to June 25th 2020 (5 Gemini). Venus in Leo is the Queen Lioness, proud, strong, resplendent. We have just over three weeks of her ardent rule. With Mars in Leo too right now, 'August is indeed a wicked month.' Mars is in Leo. Mars leaves Leo for Virgo on August 18th. In Leo Mars pulls out all the stops and pushes for glory and creativity, no expense spared. He acts with flamboyance and playfulness. Jupiter is retrograde in Sagittarius, turning direct on Sunday. This is a visionary time. The motivation here is a need to move, to grow, to seek freedom, to expand and to 'open up'. Optimism, energy, forthrightness, faith in the future and expression of adventure are the hallmarks of the residence. Jupiter made a waning square to Neptune, Jan 13th 2019, another followed on June 16th 2019 and the last is on Sept 21st 2019. This is the only major aspect of the residence and suggests a 'delusional unreal glamorous accompaniment' to this essentially jovial component of the nature of the skies in the year ahead. With Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, Jupiter in Sagittarius adds wit and wonderment before the inevitable astrological maelstrom of 2020 when he joins the two heavy weights in the sign of the goat. Jupiter is all the time moving towards the 2020 union with Saturn and Pluto in the last decan of Capricorn. Jupiter then moves on to conjunct Neptune at 24 degrees Pisces in 2022. The Grand Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurs on the Winter Solstice 2020. This will be a 'mutation conjunction'. It is the first of an unbroken series of Jupiter Saturn conjunctions in Air signs which extend till around 2140. Since 1840 all the Jupiter Saturn conjunctions have been in Earth signs, with the exception of the 1980-1981 triple conjunction. Saturn is retrograde (until September 18th) in Capricorn . The energy of Saturn in this sign is dense, practical, realistic, industrious on a huge scale, formative, establishing and sustaining. Saturn was last in Capricorn between 1988 and 1991. During the residence Saturn sextiles Neptune in Pisces three times during 2019, 31st Jan, 18th June and Nov 9th. All world religions face serious issues of faith, science and political change during these times. The most important aspect is Saturn conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. The are warlike connotations with this symbolism, this is a danger zone. The last time these two astrological heavy weights meet in Capricorn was in 1518, and before that in 1248. We are dealing here with 'forces majeure'. Saturn remains in Capricorn till Feb 17th 2020. Uranus the planet of inspiration and revolution is in Taurus the sign of enduring institution and banking. Uranus remains in Taurus for 7 years. Massive changes in the world of finance and ownership are about to take place. The last time Uranus resided in Taurus was between 1934 and 1941 and before that 1850 to 1859 the time of the Industrial Revolution. Neptune is now retrograde in Pisces he has been in this sign since 2011. Neptune turned retrograde at 19 degrees Pisces on June 21 2019. Neptune in Pisces is symbolic of the greatest watery immersion in the deepest subliminal and spiritual ocean. Neptune is in its own sign of Pisces, a transit that only occurs every 165 years. Neptune rules Pisces and also rules the deepest realms of the subconscious mind. The oceanic vibration of love is flowing with a deeper and higher frequency. Our human mission is to flow with it. Art, music and science are enhanced with the progress of this residence. The blue hair we see these days is very Neptune in Pisces. Neptune enters Aries on March 30th 2025. Pluto is now retrograde in Capricorn at 22 degrees of that sign. Pluto is retrograde from April 24 until October 2. Saturn is conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. This is the 'serious zone'. The following astrological heavyweight event, later on in 2020, is the 'Grand Conjunction' of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurring on the Winter Solstice of that year, beckoning to a healthier 'New Age Feeling' just a little way beyond. Pluto enters Aquarius on March 23rd 2023. The next eclipse is an Annular Solar Eclipse at 4 Capricorn (conjunct Jupiter) on Boxing day 2019. The next lunar eclipse in a penumbral lunar eclipse at 20 Cancer (opposite Mercury) on Jan 10th 2020. The next Total Solar Eclipse is at 23 Sagittarius (conjunct Mercury square neptune) on Dec 14th 2020. The next Total Lunar Eclipse is at 5 Sagittarius on May 26th 2021, not visible from the UK. The next solar eclipse visible from the UK is at 20 Gemini on June 10th 2021. The next Total Lunar eclipse visible from the UK is at 26 Scorpio, during the early hours of May 16th 2022.

The Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars all in Leo are ready to be opposed over the next two days by an almost Full Moon now in Aquarius. The concentration of Leo energy, characterised by a self propelling, recreational quality will shortly, starting next Monday, start to modulate, as all four bodies tumble into Virgo, bringing about a movement towards an earthier, refined, methodical, 'pruning' energy. At the moment however we are bathed in the Lammas Full Moon experience. Universal extroversion. 00.04 Venus at 21 Leo waning biquintile Saturn at 15 Capricorn 04.47 The slowly waxing gibbous Moon at 7 Aquarius waning square Uranus at 7 Taurus 06.07 Mercury at 3 Leo waxing sesuiquadrate Neptune at 18 Pisces 06.08 The Sun conjunction Venus at 21 Leo The Superior Conjunction of Venus.

With it's passing we take leave of the recent eclipse season. This Aquarius Full Moon, the Lammas Moon, is opposite Venus. Mercury squares Uranus, there is a predominance of planets in fire and fixed signs. We have on our hands a 'drama queen' of a lunation. Expect lavish extravert demonstrations of polarised energy, largely forthright and personal, add a touch of unexpected mood changes (Mercury square Uranus) and there you have it. The United Kingdom, as would be expected right now, is strongly aspected by this lunation. At the exact moment of Full Moon, 12.31 GMT, Mars in Leo is culminating at London, possibly indicating a right royal rampage, and a planetary kite pattern is manifest with the ascendant at London with a focus on the ongoing lunar nodes/Saturn conjunction, certainly points to a extraordinary set of event. The Queen's Jupiter (opposite Neptune) is hit, the Full Moon opposes Prince Philip's Moon and squares Prince Charles' Sun. The Full Moon squares the UK Tory Party's MC and is conjunct the Sun and Venus of the Labour Party chart, also today is Princess Anne's birthday. This Full Moon hits the Mars of Sajid Javid, the MC of the Indian Independence chart, the Sun of Japan, Saturn of Michelle Obama, Neptune of the LHC at Cern. It opposes the Russian Venus, and opposes Putin's Pluto. At the moment of Full Moon today the Moon conjuncts the MC of Wellington (NZ), the Sun sets at Lhasa, Saturn and the lunar node rise at Mogadishu and at the Strait of Hormuz. 13.17 The Moon at 23 Aquarius opposition Venus at 23 Leo

In the wake of the full moon we have an unsettling Mercury square Uranus giving us the gitters. Expect changes of mind and unlooked for changes of direction. A 'nothing is easy' sort of day. 01.02 The very slowly waning full Moon decelerating at 29 Aquarius opposition Mars at 29 Leo, moon void. 03.51 The Moon ingresses Pisces joining Neptune in this sign. A tight 'finger of fate' yod pattern manifests around 17:10 GMT, the focus of which is on that agitated Mercury. 17.08 Mercury at 7 Leo waxing square Uranus at 7 Taurus 17.12 The Moon at 7 Pisces waning quincunx Mercury at 7 Leo 17.12 The Moon at 7 Pisces waning sextile Uranus at 7 Taurus A drifty and dreamy weekend is ahead of us.

A 'dream of life' day, dreamy, distant, impressionable, removed, sensitive, artistic. 00.27 Venus at 25 Leo waxing tri-decile Uranus at 7 Taurus 09.18 The very slowly waning full Moon at 15 Pisces waxing square Jupiter at 15 Sagittarius 09.36 The Moon at 15 Pisces waxing sextile Saturn at 15 Capricorn 10.50 The Moon is at apogee (conjunct Black Moon Lilith), slowest and furthest from the Earth all month. 11.09 The Moon at 15 Pisces trines her node from south of the ecliptic. 16.09 The Moon conjunction Neptune at 18 Pisces 17.39 Mars at 30 Leo waning sesuiquadrate Saturn at 15 Capricorn 19.24 The Sun at 25 Leo waxing tri-decile Uranus at 7 Taurus 22.35 The Moon at 21 Pisces waxing sextile Pluto at 21 Capricorn, moon void

The Moon starts this (GMT) day void of course in Pisces. The day drifts a little, rudderless, until the Moon ingresses Aries 16:34. 05.20 Mars ingresses Virgo starting something of a planetary landslide from Leo to this sign. Venus follows suit on Wednesday, the Sun on Friday and Mercury on Aug 29th, the day before the next New Moon. Mars in Virgo brings a time of 'works'. He is particularly busy this time round, making strong aspects to all the planets during the next 46 days. Mars is conjunct Venus on Aug 24th at 4 Virgo, a 'pinch point' for all personal matters. Mars trines Uranus on Aug 28th, invoking practical invention. Mars is conjunct the Sun and Mercury on Sept 2nd and 3rd at 10 Virgo, the highlight of the residence and overseeing a time of great 'refinement' and practicality. Mars trines Saturn, further extensive works, construction, building, on Sept 9th, squares Jupiter on Sept 12th, opposes Neptune on the day of the Full Moon Sept 14th and finally trines Pluto on Sept 19th. Mars enters Libra on Oct 4th. So then we are entering a time of of personal industry and project where precision and perfection are strived for. In the wider sphere Mars in Virgo trine Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn has the symbolism of investment in weaponry and an emphasis on military strategy. Politically and socially the devil resides in the detail. Splitting hairs, the letter of the law, the fly in the ointment. 06.33 The very slowly waning full void of course Moon at 25 Pisces waning quincunx The Sun at 25 Leo 09.03 The Moon at 26 Pisces waning quincunx Venus at 26 Leo 14.48 Venus at 27 Leo waning tri-decile Jupiter at 15 Sagittarius 16.34 The Moon ingreses Aries 17.11 The Moon at zero Aries waning quincunx Mars at zero Virgo

Mars ingressed Virgo yesterday starting something of a planetary landslide from Leo to this sign. Venus follows suit on Wednesday, the Sun on Friday and Mercury on Aug 29th, the day before the next New Moon.

This is a wild fire of love and money. Venus is essentially on the chase of Mars whom she will meet in Virgo on Aug 24th at 4 Virgo. She is an evening star for the remainder of 2019. Venus leaves Leo for Virgo on Aug 21st. She is retrograde from May 13th 2020 (at 22 Gemini) to June 25th 2020 (5 Gemini). Venus in Leo is the Queen Lioness, proud, strong, resplendent.

Jupiter is all the time moving towards the 2020 union with Saturn and Pluto in the last decan of Capricorn. Jupiter then moves on to conjunct Neptune at 24 degrees Pisces in 2022. The Grand Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurs on the Winter Solstice 2020. This will be a 'mutation conjunction'. It is the first of an unbroken series of Jupiter Saturn conjunctions in Air signs which extend till around 2140. Since 1840 all the Jupiter Saturn conjunctions have been in Earth signs, with the exception of the 1980-1981 triple conjunction. Saturn is retrograde (until September 18th) in Capricorn . The energy of Saturn in this sign is dense, practical, realistic, industrious on a huge scale, formative, establishing and sustaining. Saturn was last in Capricorn between 1988 and 1991. During the residence Saturn sextiles Neptune in Pisces three times during 2019, 31st Jan, 18th June and Nov 9th. All world religions face serious issues of faith, science and political change during these times. The most important aspect is Saturn conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. The are warlike connotations with this symbolism, this is a danger zone. The last time these two astrological heavy weights meet in Capricorn was in 1518, and before that in 1248. We are dealing here with 'forces majeure'. Saturn remains in Capricorn till Feb 17th 2020. Uranus the planet of inspiration and revolution is now retrograde (till Jan 11th 2020) in Taurus the sign of enduring institution and banking. Uranus remains in Taurus for 7 years. Massive changes in the world of finance and ownership are about to take place. The last time Uranus resided in Taurus was between 1934 and 1941 and before that 1850 to 1859 the time of the Industrial Revolution. Neptune is now retrograde in Pisces he has been in this sign since 2011. Neptune turned retrograde at 19 degrees Pisces on June 21 2019. Neptune in Pisces is symbolic of the greatest watery immersion in the deepest subliminal and spiritual ocean. Neptune is in its own sign of Pisces, a transit that only occurs every 165 years. Neptune rules Pisces and also rules the deepest realms of the subconscious mind. The oceanic vibration of love is flowing with a deeper and higher frequency. Our human mission is to flow with it. Art, music and science are enhanced with the progress of this residence. The blue hair we see these days is very Neptune in Pisces. Neptune enters Aries on March 30th 2025. Pluto is now retrograde in Capricorn at 22 degrees of that sign. Pluto is retrograde from April 24 until October 2. Saturn is conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. This is the 'serious zone'. The following astrological heavyweight event, later on in 2020, is the 'Grand Conjunction' of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurring on the Winter Solstice of that year, beckoning to a healthier 'New Age Feeling' just a little way beyond. Pluto enters Aquarius on March 23rd 2023. The next eclipse is an Annular Solar Eclipse at 4 Capricorn (conjunct Jupiter) on Boxing day 2019. The next lunar eclipse in a penumbral lunar eclipse at 20 Cancer (opposite Mercury) on Jan 10th 2020. The next Total Solar Eclipse is at 23 Sagittarius (conjunct Mercury square neptune) on Dec 14th 2020. The next Total Lunar Eclipse is at 5 Sagittarius on May 26th 2021, not visible from the UK. The next solar eclipse visible from the UK is at 20 Gemini on June 10th 2021. The next Total Lunar eclipse visible from the UK is at 26 Scorpio, during the early hours of May 16th 2022. The astrological wave of the week is Venus conjunct Mars at 4 degrees Virgo on Saturday. This is an astrological event of commitment, very personal.

Venus is three degrees from Mars on the far side of the Sun and closing. A material manifestation of a love union, an alliance of useful convenience and a start of a new affair, or the rekindling of an old relationship are all possible. In dealing with (UK) Prince Andrew, astrologers have a reliably accurate birth time(as with all the royals). Andrew is currently undergoing his second Saturn Return, happens to us all as we approach the age of 60 and is a time of reckoning. Ahead of him Transiting Pluto is squaring his MC, wrecking his reputation and standing, and transiting Neptune is conjunct his Mercury all through 2019, scrambling and undermining thoughts, plans and perceptions. No surprise he is under such pressure and in the limelight right now. Transiting Pluto conjuncts his natal Venus and Mars in the four years ahead. Plenty transformation and change are on the cards for the Duke of York. Today..... 09.02 The Sun at 27 Leo waning biquintile Pluto at 21 Capricorn 10.54 The slow moving, slowly accelerating disseminating Moon at 21 Aries waxing square Pluto at 21 Capricorn

She remains in Virgo, as an evening star, for a brief 23 days. Venus, like Mars, will make aspects with all planets whilst residing in this sign. This is a very special and significant period. Venus reaches Mars on Aug 24th at 4 Virgo. A material manifestation of a love union, an alliance of useful convenience and a start of a new affair, or the rekindling of an old relationship are all possible with this particular event. Venus trines Saturn on Sept 1st and squares Jupiter on Sept 2nd and opposes Neptune on Sept 4th, a very eventful few days. Venus trines Pluto on Sept 7th. Mercury is conjunct Venus on Sept 13th at 29 Virgo. (These two meet again on Oct 30th 2019). Venus enters Libra on Sept 14th, the day of the next Full Moon. Times are changing.

A weekend of movement, exchange, communication, and transmission. A billion refinements. Venus conjunct Mars in Virgo. Physical proof of love. A material manifestation of a love union, an alliance of useful convenience and a start of a new affair, or the rekindling of an old relationship are all possible with this particular event.

Over the next 7 days the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars make 'earth trine' aspects to Uranus. This is an enlivening and awakening astrological wave inducing dextrous, exacting, future proof inventiveness. Unorthodox overtures, actions and strategies which 'work' command the immediate days ahead. Venus is the first in line. Venus trine Uranus, always an earthy kinky vibration, tomorrow. Today... 05.07 The waning accelerating Moon at 21 Gemini is quincunx Pluto at 21 Capricorn 06.59 The Moon at 22 Gemini waning sextiles Mercury at 22 Leo.

Venus and Mars are also in Virgo. Saturn and Pluto are in Capricorn. There are 27 days to the Equinox. We have left the eclipse season after a Total Solar Eclipse on July 2nd and a Partial Lunar Eclipse on July 16th. There is a Super New Moon in Virgo on Friday. Over the next 5 days the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars make 'earth trine' aspects to Uranus. This is an enlivening and awakening astrological wave inducing dextrous, exacting, future proof inventiveness. Unorthodox overtures, actions and strategies 'work' command the immediate days ahead. Venus is the first in line, today. Mercury is now a direct morning star in Leo. Mercury fresh from recent retrograde motion is back up to full apparent speed (1 degree per day) and has left his shadow. Time now to move on with projects. He leaves Leo for Virgo on Aug 29th. Mercury is conjunct Mars at 10 Virgo on Sept 3rd, is at Superior Conjunction with the Sun on Sep 4th at 11 Virgo and is conjunct Venus at 29 Virgo on Sept 13th. Mercury next turns retrograde on Oct 31st 2019, (Brexit day!) at 28 Scorpio, conjunct Venus again. Venus is in Virgo, as an evening star, for a brief 23 days. Venus, like Mars, will make aspects with all planets whilst residing in this sign. This is a very special and significant period. Venus trines Saturn on Sept 1st and squares Jupiter on Sept 2nd and opposes Neptune on Sept 4th, a very eventful few days. Venus trines Pluto on Sept 7th. Mercury is conjunct Venus on Sept 13th at 29 Virgo. (These two meet again on Oct 30th 2019). Venus enters Libra on Sept 14th, the day of the next Full Moon. She is an evening star for the remainder of 2019. Venus is retrograde from May 13th 2020 (at 22 Gemini) to June 25th 2020 (5 Gemini). Times are changing. The situation has a new perspective. A new realism is about us. Mars is also in Virgo. Mars here brings a time of 'works'. He is particularly busy this time round, making strong aspects to all the planets during the his 46 day residence. Mars trines Uranus on Aug 28th, invoking practical invention. Mars is conjunct the Sun and Mercury on Sept 2nd and 3rd at 10 Virgo, the highlight of the residence and overseeing a time of great 'refinement' and practicality. Mars trines Saturn, further extensive works, construction, building, on Sept 9th, squares Jupiter on Sept 12th, opposes Neptune on the day of the Full Moon Sept 14th and finally trines Pluto on Sept 19th. Mars enters Libra on Oct 4th. So then we are entering a time of of personal industry and project where precision and perfection are strived for. In the wider sphere Mars in Virgo trine Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn has the symbolism of investment in weaponry and an emphasis on military strategy. Politically and socially the devil resides in the detail. Jupiter is now moving direct in Sagittarius. This is a visionary time. The motivation here is a need to move, to grow, to seek freedom, to expand and to 'open up'. Optimism, energy, forthrightness, faith in the future and expression of adventure are the hallmarks of the residence. Jupiter made a waning square to Neptune, Jan 13th 2019, another followed on June 16th 2019 and the last is on Sept 21st 2019. This is the only major aspect of the residence and suggests a 'delusional unreal glamorous accompaniment' to this essentially jovial component of the nature of the skies in the year ahead.

Mars trine Uranus coming on strong today, peaking tomorrow. Forceful pushes for change. 03.29 The Moon at 18 Cancer waxing trine Neptune at 18 Pisces Minor lunar grazing occultation of star Delta Taurus observable from UK around 04:14 to 04:24 06.06 The Moon reaches her balsamic phase. The procession to the New Moon now begins in earnest. 08.56 The Moon at 21 Cancer opposition Pluto at 21 Capricorn, the Moon is then void of course for 14 hours. 13.46 Mars at 6 Virgo waning sesuiquadrate Pluto at 21 Capricorn 18.22 Mercury at 27 Leo waning tri-decile Jupiter at 15 Sagittarius 18.49 Mercury at 27 Leo waning biquintile Pluto at 21 Capricorn 23.55 The Moon ingresses Leo joining Mercury in this sign.

The old Moon wanes and accelerates in Leo. Mars 'earth trines' Uranus. The day is one of direct methodical action. 03.36 Mercury at 28 Leo waxing quad-novile Neptune at 18 Pisces 07.56 Jupiter at 15 Sagittarius waning decile Pluto at 21 Capricorn This is the final of 3 such aspects between these two planets. The first was on Jan 17th 2019, the second one on July 11th. The 13 year 'power' cycle between Jupiter and Pluto started in Dec 2007 in Sagittarius and ends in 2020 in Capricorn. The 'waning decile' aspect, manifest towards the very end of the cycle, epitomizes of the best and the worst of the old cycle. We are dealing here with subsiding power structures. Jupiter is conjunct Pluto 3 times next year and is one of the hallmarks of a momentous year. 10.30 The balsamic Moon accelerating at 7 Leo waxing square Uranus at 7 Taurus 10.53 Mars at 7 Virgo waxing trine Uranus at 7 Taurus 22.39 Mercury at 29 Leo waning sesuiquadrate Saturn at 14 Capricorn 22.58 The Moon at 14 Leo waning quincunx Saturn at 14 Capricorn.

Yesterday as Mars was trine Uranus the UK government asked the Queen to suspend Parliament just days after MPs return to work in September, and only a few weeks before the Brexit deadline. Boris Johnson said a Queen's Speech would take place after the suspension, on 14 October, to outline his 'very exciting agenda'. But it means the time MPs have to pass laws to stop a no-deal Brexit on 31 October would be cut. The UK (1801) chart has transiting Neptune square UK Mercury as September starts, which shrouds the nation in a mist of confusion, beguilement and chaos. Boris Johnson currently has transiting Uranus trine his Uranus buoying up his 'shock-move politics'. The first week of September however sees two heavyweight transits, transiting Pluto square his Moon/Ascendant and Uranus square his Mars/Ascendant which are both seriously personally challenging transits, testing him to the limit. The ancient Moon accelerating in Leo sets the stage for more fun and games. 00.07 The Moon at 15 Leo waning trine Jupiter at 15 Sagittarius. The Moon is void of course for the remainder of the day, nearly 24 hours. 04.23 The Moon at 18 Leo waxing quincunx Neptune at 18 Pisces 07.49 Mercury ingress Virgo Mercury whizzes through Virgo in 17 days making major aspects to all the planets, as Venus and Mars are currently doing, very busy residences these. Mercury as a morning star trines Uranus on Sept 1st, is conjunct Mars ar 10 Virgo on Sept 3rd, is at Superior conjunction with the Sun at 11 Virgo, on Sept 4th. Then as an evening star Mercury trines Saturn on Sept 5th, squares Jupiter on Sept 6th, opposes Neptune on Sept 7th, trines Pluto on Sept 9th, is conjunct Venus at 29 Virgo on Sept 13th and enters Libra on Sept 14th, the day of the Full Moon. Mercury next turns retrograde on Oct 31st 2019, (Brexit day!) at 28 Scorpio, conjunct Venus again. 09.36 The Moon at 21 Leo waning quincunx Pluto at 21 Capricorn 13.09 The Sun at 6 Virgo waning sesuiquadrate Pluto at 21 Capricorn 23.59 The Moon ingress Virgo joining the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars in this sign. I am going off grid and under radar for the next 3 days. The Daze will be back live on Monday Sept 2nd 2019. Happy New Moon on Friday.

This New Moon is conjunct Mars and trine Uranus. It is Full and Fast, a Super New Moon, the events it draws will be fast moving. Being conjunct Mars there is an injection of full frontal 'push', deliberate and effective. This one is scarily forceful. There is a great preponderance of bodies in Earth and Mutable signs at this time with no Air and only a little Fire and Water. This one is a 'pruning iron'. This New Moon is full on 'refining'. Careful choices to make. Seriously viable options are at hand. This is an immeasurably practical and diligent time. The New Moon and Mars are trine Uranus adding flair and inventiveness to the mix. Today's New Moon is conjunct the 11th house Uranus of Boris Johnson and is trine his Government chart 6th house Uranus. Boris' Uranus is opposite his Saturn, it's one of the hallmarks of his chart. Fate is against him. The Full Moon hits the Mars of Myanmar, the Venus of DR Congo, the Lunar Node of Denmark, the Sun of Cameron Diaz, the Sun of Ing wen Tsai, the Venus of John Mcdonnell, the Venus of Edward Snowden, the Mercury of Steve Hillage and Robert Plant, and the Neptune of the Joan Collins generation. At the exact moment of New Moon today, the Sun and Mars rise at Washington DC and set at Hong Kong. Jupiter rises at Khartoum and culminates at Perth(NZ), Pluto rises at New Delhi and at Mumbai. The New Moon rapidly moves on to conjunct both Mars and Venus. 12.15 The Moon conjunction Mars at 8 Virgo 16.00 The Moon is at perigee, fastest and nearest to the Earth all month. 18.14 The Moon conjunction Venus at 12 Virgo 22.15 The Moon at 14 Virgo waning trine Saturn at 14 Capricorn 23.09 The Moon at 15 Virgo waxing sextile the lunar node at 15 Cancer 23.39 The Moon at 15 Virgo waning square Jupiter at 15 Sagittarius

An 'astrologically important' few days are ahead of us. The Sun conjunct Mars in Virgo today will act as a sharp edged chisel. Venus square Jupiter today squanders resource. The Moon today in Libra weighs up the issues and tomorrow acts with compulsion. Poise today, penetration to follow. 03.11 The waxing young Moon decelerating at 18 Libra quincunx Neptune at 18 Pisces 04.37 Venus at 15 Virgo waxing sextile the lunar node at 15 Cancer 08.34 The Moon at 21 Libra waning square Pluto at 21 Capricorn, moon void. 10.43 The Sun conjunction Mars at 10 Virgo 15.07 The Moon reaches her waxing crescent phase 16.27 Venus at 15 Virgo waning square Jupiter at 15 Sagittarius 23.36 The Moon ingresses Scorpio. State of the sky:- Today the Sun is at 10 degrees Virgo. Mercury, Venus and Mars are also in Virgo. Saturn and Pluto are in Capricorn. There are 20 days to the Equinox. We have left the recent eclipse season after a Total Solar Eclipse on July 2nd and a Partial Lunar Eclipse on July 16th and we are now in inter-eclipse season weeks. Up to Sept 19th the Jupiter square Neptune aspect forms a mutable T-square with Venus, then the Sun, Mars and finally Mercury. The Moon joins in on the 6th. This pattern will force movement and mediation. Mercury is now a direct morning star in Virgo. Mercury whizzes through Virgo in 17 days making major aspects to all the planets, as Venus and Mars are currently doing, very busy residences these. Mercury as a morning star trined Uranus yesterday, is conjunct Mars at 10 Virgo tomorrow, is at Superior Conjunction with the Sun at 11 Virgo, on Sept 4th. Then as an evening star Mercury trines Saturn on Sept 5th, squares Jupiter on Sept 6th, opposes Neptune on Sept 7th, trines Pluto on Sept 9th, is conjunct Venus at 29 Virgo on Sept 13th and enters Libra on Sept 14th, the day of the Full Moon. Mercury next turns retrograde on Oct 31st 2019, (Brexit day!) at 28 Scorpio, conjunct Venus again. Venus is in Virgo, as an evening star, for a brief 23 days. Venus, like Mars, will make aspects with all planets whilst residing in this sign. This is a very special and significant period. Venus trined Saturn yesterday, squares Jupiter today and opposes Neptune on Sept 4th, a very eventful few days. Venus trines Pluto on Sept 7th. Mercury is conjunct Venus on Sept 13th at 29 Virgo. (These two meet again on Oct 30th 2019). Venus enters Libra on Sept 14th, the day of the next Full Moon. She is an evening star for the remainder of 2019. Venus is retrograde from May 13th 2020 (at 22 Gemini) to June 25th 2020 (5 Gemini). Times are changing. The situation has a new perspective. A new realism is about us. Mars is also in Virgo. Mars here brings a time of 'works'. He is particularly busy this time round, making strong aspects to all the planets during the his 46 day residence. Mars is conjunct the Sun and Mercury on Sept 2nd and 3rd at 10 Virgo, the highlight of the residence and overseeing a time of great 'refinement' and practicality. Mars trines Saturn, further extensive works, construction, building, on Sept 9th, squares Jupiter on Sept 12th, opposes Neptune on the day of the Full Moon Sept 14th and finally trines Pluto on Sept 19th. Mars enters Libra on Oct 4th. So then we are entering a time of of personal industry and project where precision and perfection are strived for. In the wider sphere Mars in Virgo trine Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn has the symbolism of investment in weaponry and an emphasis on military strategy. Politically and socially the devil resides in the detail. Jupiter is now moving direct in Sagittarius. This is a visionary time. The motivation here is a need to move, to grow, to seek freedom, to expand and to 'open up'. Optimism, energy, forthrightness, faith in the future and expression of adventure are the hallmarks of the residence. Jupiter made a waning square to Neptune, Jan 13th 2019, another followed on June 16th 2019 and the last is on Sept 21st 2019. This is the only major aspect of the residence and suggests a 'delusional unreal glamorous accompaniment' to this essentially jovial component of the nature of the skies in the year ahead. With Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, Jupiter in Sagittarius adds wit and wonderment before the inevitable astrological maelstrom of 2020 when he joins the two heavy weights in the sign of the goat. Jupiter is all the time moving towards the 2020 union with Saturn and Pluto in the last decan of Capricorn. Jupiter then moves on to conjunct Neptune at 24 degrees Pisces in 2022. The Grand Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurs on the Winter Solstice 2020. This will be a 'mutation conjunction'. It is the first of an unbroken series of Jupiter Saturn conjunctions in Air signs which extend till around 2140. Since 1840 all the Jupiter Saturn conjunctions have been in Earth signs, with the exception of the 1980-1981 triple conjunction. Saturn is retrograde (until September 18th) in Capricorn . The energy of Saturn in this sign is dense, practical, realistic, industrious on a huge scale, formative, establishing and sustaining. Saturn was last in Capricorn between 1988 and 1991. During the residence Saturn sextiles Neptune in Pisces three times during 2019, 31st Jan, 18th June and Nov 9th. All world religions face serious issues of faith, science and political change during these times. The most important aspect is Saturn conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. The are warlike connotations with this symbolism, this is a danger zone. The last time these two astrological heavy weights meet in Capricorn was in 1518, and before that in 1248. We are dealing here with 'forces majeure'. Saturn remains in Capricorn till Feb 17th 2020. Uranus the planet of inspiration and revolution is now retrograde (till Jan 11th 2020) in Taurus the sign of enduring institution and banking. Uranus remains in Taurus for 7 years. Massive changes in the world of finance and ownership are about to take place. The last time Uranus resided in Taurus was between 1934 and 1941 and before that 1850 to 1859 the time of the Industrial Revolution. Neptune is now retrograde in Pisces he has been in this sign since 2011. Neptune turned retrograde at 19 degrees Pisces on June 21 2019. Neptune in Pisces is symbolic of the greatest watery immersion in the deepest subliminal and spiritual ocean. Neptune is in its own sign of Pisces, a transit that only occurs every 165 years. Neptune rules Pisces and also rules the deepest realms of the subconscious mind. The oceanic vibration of love is flowing with a deeper and higher frequency. Our human mission is to flow with it. Art, music and science are enhanced with the progress of this residence. The blue hair we see these days is very Neptune in Pisces. Neptune enters Aries on March 30th 2025. Pluto is now retrograde in Capricorn at 22 degrees of that sign. Pluto is retrograde from April 24 until October 2. Saturn is conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. This is the 'serious zone'. The following astrological heavyweight event, later on in 2020, is the 'Grand Conjunction' of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurring on the Winter Solstice of that year, beckoning to a healthier 'New Age Feeling' just a little way beyond. Pluto enters Aquarius on March 23rd 2023. The next eclipse is an Annular Solar Eclipse at 4 Capricorn (conjunct Jupiter) on Boxing day 2019. The next lunar eclipse in a penumbral lunar eclipse at 20 Cancer (opposite Mercury) on Jan 10th 2020. The next Total Solar Eclipse is at 23 Sagittarius (conjunct Mercury square Neptune) on Dec 14th 2020. The next Total Lunar Eclipse is at 5 Sagittarius on May 26th 2021, not visible from the UK.

The Virgo New Moon stellium and yesterday's planetary power punch of the Sun conjunct Mars have coincided with the devastational Hurricane Dorian, the recent clash between Israel and the Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon with signs pointing to a potentially catastrophic conflict ahead, pro-democracy protests seeing some of the worst violence in weeks between protesters and police in Hong Kong and thousands of secondary school and university students boycotting classes there, and of course the political showdown underway in the UK. There is a more to follow. Today it is the turn of Mercury conjunct Mars. This will undoubtedly correspond with further impetus and political collision. The Moon is now in Scorpio overseeing purposeful and adept will with a sting in the tail. 10.18 The waxing crescent Moon decelerating at 6 Scorpio opposition Uranus at 6 Taurus 15.41 Mercury conjunction Mars at 10 Virgo 15:59 Closest conjunction of Mercury and Mars (0.64 degrees) 17.12 The Moon at 10 Scorpio waxing sextile Mars at 10 Virgo 17.22 The Moon at 11 Scorpio waxing sextile Mercury at 11 Virgo 17.58 The Moon at 11 Scorpio waxing sextile The Sun at 11 Virgo 23.19 The Moon at 14 Scorpio waning sextile Saturn at 14 Capricorn

Planetary aspects are in abundance this week, the astrological pressures and stimulations are relentless. The Sun and Mercury and Mars are currently all conjunct Boris Johnson's 12th house natal Pluto. Self undoing and hidden enemies to the fore. Venus opposite Neptune is the focus of a planetary kite today rendering a mesmerising dissolution and an almost enchanting confusion. Let it go. 00:00 to 12:00 A water grand trine and loose planetary kite forms involving the Moon, her node and Neptune (opposite Venus). 00.06 The waxing crescent Moon decelerating at 15 Scorpio trines her node from north of the ecliptic. 01.41 Mercury at Superior Conjunction with the Sun at 11 Virgo A 'Full Mercury', the mind's illumination. 04.32 The Moon at 17 Scorpio waxing sextile Venus at 17 Virgo 05.10 The Moon at 17 Scorpio waning trine Neptune at 17 Pisces 10.59 The Moon at 21 Scorpio waning sextile Pluto at 21 Capricorn, moon void.

Clear thinking and forthright activity today.

Mutable first quarter Moon. Moving crisis in action. Transmission. Mercury squares Jupiter today and the Sun earth trines Saturn. Practical considerations after a skewed start. 00.49 The Moon at 12 Sagittarius waxing square Mars at 12 Virgo 03.11 The Moon at First Quarter 07.12 Mercury at 16 Virgo waning square Jupiter at 16 Sagittarius 07.20 The Moon at 16 Sagittarius conjunction Jupiter at 16 Sagittarius 07.22 The Moon at 16 Sagittarius waxing square Mercury at 16 Virgo 10.53 The Moon at 17 Sagittarius waning square Neptune at 17 Pisces 16.04 The Moon at 20 Sagittarius waxing square Venus at 20 Virgo, moon void 21.57 The Sun at 14 Virgo waning trine Saturn at 14 Capricorn

The decelerating first quarter Moon starts this day void of course in Sagittarius. After crazy 'Mercury opposite Neptune' scenes first thing the day becomes 'ground in'. Gritty determination wins through although at a cost. 'Be prepared' is a good motto. 03.46 Venus at 21 Virgo waning trine Pluto at 21 Capricorn 06.38 The Sun at 14 Virgo waxing sextile the lunar node at 14 Cancer 07.19 Mercury at 17 Virgo opposition Neptune at 17 Pisces 10.39 The Moon ingresses Capricorn joining Saturn and Pluto in this sign. 14.10 Venus at 21 Virgo waxing sesuiquadrate Uranus at 6 Taurus 22.48 The Moon at 6 Capricorn waning trine Uranus at 6 Taurus

Sunday 8th September 2019

Sun square Jupiter

Guard against wasting time, energy and thought as the Sun squares Jupiter. Centre yourself as the Moon occults Saturn. The day is geared to structure and organisation. 12.54 The decelerating waxing Moon at 14 Capricorn trine Mars at 14 Virgo 13.43 The Moon conjunction Saturn at 14 Capricorn. Observable as a lunar occultation of Saturn from the area shown on the map below.

The working week does indeed start with industry as Mars 'earth trines' Saturn and the waxing Moon crawls through Capricorn. During the week ahead we will witness the slow build up to a beguiling Harvest Full Moon in Pisces, conjunct Neptune, early Saturday, and then Mercury and Venus hand in hand tumble into Libra starting a mini landslide of the personal planets moving from Virgo to Libra over the following 3 weeks modulating the astrological energy from 'works and refinement' to balance, truce and adjustment. 03.03 The Moon at 21 Capricorn waxing trine Mercury at 21 Virgo 03.04 The Moon conjunction Pluto at 21 Capricorn 03.10 Mercury at 21 Virgo waning trine Pluto at 21 Capricorn 04.15 Mars at 14 Virgo waning trine Saturn at 14 Capricorn 08.31 The Moon at 24 Capricorn waxing trine Venus at 24 Virgo, moon void. The Moon is void of course for 13 hours. 09.59 Mercury at 21 Virgo waxing sesuiquadrate Uranus at 6 Taurus 14.16 Mars at 14 Virgo waxing sextile the lunar node at 14 Cancer 21.25 The Moon ingresses Aquarius State of the sky:- Today the Sun is at 17 degrees Virgo. Mercury, Venus and Mars are also in Virgo. The Moon, Saturn and Pluto are in Capricorn. There are 13 days to the Equinox. We have left the recent eclipse season after a Total Solar Eclipse on July 2nd and a Partial Lunar Eclipse on July 16th and we are now in inter-eclipse season weeks. Up to Sept 19th the Jupiter square Neptune aspect forms a mutable T-square with Venus, then the Sun, Mars and finally Mercury. Mercury is now a direct evening star in Virgo. Mercury whizzes through Virgo in 17 days making major aspects to all the planets, as Venus and Mars are currently doing, very busy residences these. Mercury is conjunct Venus at 29 Virgo on Sept 13th and enters Libra on Sept 14th, the day of the Full Moon. Mercury next turns retrograde on Oct 31st 2019, (Brexit day!?) at 28 Scorpio, conjunct Venus again. Venus is in Virgo, as an evening star, for a brief 23 days. Venus, like Mars, is making aspects with all planets whilst residing in this sign. This is a very special and significant period. Mercury is conjunct Venus on Sept 13th at 29 Virgo. (These two meet again on Oct 30th 2019). Venus enters Libra on Sept 14th, the day of the Full Moon. She is an evening star for the remainder of 2019. Venus is retrograde from May 13th 2020 (at 22 Gemini) to June 25th 2020 (5 Gemini). Times are changing. The situation has a new perspective. A new realism is about us. Mars is also in Virgo. Mars here brings a time of 'works'. He is particularly busy this time round, making strong aspects to all the planets during the his 46 day residence. Mars squares Jupiter on Sept 12th, opposes Neptune on the day of the Full Moon Sept 14th and finally trines Pluto on Sept 19th. Mars enters Libra on Oct 4th. We are in a time of of personal industry and project where precision and perfection are strived for. In the wider sphere Mars in Virgo trine Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn has the symbolism of investment in weaponry and an emphasis on military strategy. Politically and socially the devil resides in the detail. Jupiter is now moving direct in Sagittarius. This is a visionary time. The motivation here is a need to move, to grow, to seek freedom, to expand and to 'open up'. Optimism, energy, forthrightness, faith in the future and expression of adventure are the hallmarks of the residence. Jupiter made a waning square to Neptune, Jan 13th 2019, another followed on June 16th 2019 and the last is on Sept 21st 2019. This is the only major aspect of the residence and suggests a 'delusional unreal glamorous accompaniment' to this essentially jovial component of the nature of the skies in the year ahead. With Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, Jupiter in Sagittarius adds wit and wonderment before the inevitable astrological maelstrom of 2020 when he joins the two heavy weights in the sign of the goat.

Neptune in Pisces is symbolic of the greatest watery immersion in the deepest subliminal and spiritual ocean. Neptune is in its own sign of Pisces, a transit that only occurs every 165 years. Neptune rules Pisces and also rules the deepest realms of the subconscious mind. The oceanic vibration of love is flowing with a deeper and higher frequency. Our human mission is to flow with it. Art, music and science are enhanced with the progress of this residence. The blue hair we see these days is very Neptune in Pisces. Neptune enters Aries on March 30th 2025. Pluto is now retrograde in Capricorn at 22 degrees of that sign. Pluto is retrograde from April 24 until October 2. Saturn is conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. This is the 'serious zone'.

01.33 The slow moving Moon reaches her waxing gibbous phase. The procession to Saturday's Full Moon now starts in earnest. 07.24 The Sun at 17 Virgo opposition Neptune at 17 Pisces An annual event, a 'Full Neptune'. A sublime reminder as to the impermanence of all manifestation. Blessed be. 09.58 The Moon at 6 Aquarius waning square Uranus at 6 Taurus. Mars is applying in square aspect to Jupiter, actions probably well wide of the mark. Mercury applies in conjunction to Venus, heart and mind in unison, a merry meeting, the Moon is approaching the Full. Events and experiences and emotion continue with unabated poignancy.

There is something of a chaotic Full Moon just three days away. Lunar pressures are indeed rising. Mars, Jupiter and Neptune are in mutable T-square in the days ahead corresponding to much that is crazy in the world right now. 03:00 to 06:00 A finger of fate forms involving the Moon, her node and Mars. 04.02 The slowly waxing gibbous Moon at 15 Aquarius quincunx Mars at 15 Virgo 05.23 The Moon at 16 Aquarius waxing sextile Jupiter at 16 Sagittarius, moon void. The Moon is then void of course for nearly 17 hours. 06.54 Venus at 26 Virgo waning bi-novile Jupiter at 16 Sagittarius 07.26 Venus at 26 Virgo waning tri-decile Saturn at 14 Capricorn 10.24 The Moon at 18 Aquarius waxing quincunx The Sun at 18 Virgo 23.51 Mercury at 26 Virgo waning tri-decile Saturn at 14 Capricorn

The waxing gibbous Moon slips unnoticed into Pisces this morning (GMT). Emotional responses shift up a gear, and coupled with the current applying Mars Jupiter Neptune T-square casting aberrations and excesses on us all, we can expect some seriously weird scenes as the Full Moon approaches. In addition to all of this Mercury is applying in a tight conjunction to Venus in late Virgo peaking just before the Full Moon climaxes. The result will be 'events'. Things are going to happen. Something is going to 'go down'. 00.29 Mercury at 26 Virgo waning bi-novile Jupiter at 16 Sagittarius 01.58 The Moon at 26 Aquarius waxing quincunx Mercury at 26 Virgo 03.48 The Moon at 27 Aquarius waxing quincunx Venus at 27 Virgo 09.07 Mars at 16 Virgo waning square Jupiter at 16 Sagittarius 09.53 The Moon ingress Pisces joining Neptune in this sign. 22.27 The Moon at 6 Pisces waning sextile Uranus at 6 Taurus

A dreamy and eventful day. The potential for wave after wave of deep emotion engulfing our hearts and minds and definite precise changes possible in our lives. 13:03 Closest conjunction of Mercury and Venus (0.28 degrees). The 2nd= tightest planetary aspect of 2019. 13.32 The waxing gibbous Moon is at apogee (conjunct Black Moon Lilith), slowest and furthest from the Earth all month. 14.05 The Moon at 14 Pisces waxing sextile Saturn at 14 Capricorn 14.18 The Moon at 14 Pisces trines her node from south of the ecliptic. 15.11 Mercury conjunction Venus at 29 Virgo 18.35 The Moon at 16 Pisces waxing square Jupiter at 16 Sagittarius 19.43 The Sun at 21 Virgo waning trine Pluto at 21 Capricorn 20.13 The Moon at 17 Pisces opposition Mars at 17 Virgo 20.44 The Moon conjunction Neptune at 17 Pisces The Moon is Full tonight.

03.50 The Moon at 21 Pisces waxing sextile Pluto at 21 Capricorn 04.33 Moment of FULL MOON conjunct Neptune sextile Pluto, opposite Mars. Today's Full Moon is the second following the Partial Lunar Eclipse at 24 Capricorn on July 16th 2019 and the 4th before a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse 20 degrees Cancer on Jan 10th 2020. We are now in 'inter eclipse season weeks'. This Full Moon is in Pisces conjunct Neptune, sextile Pluto. Mars opposes Neptune. This is potentially an emotional event, fluctuating emotions actually. It is a mixture of beguilement and healing with a stiff measure of glamour and distraction. This is an 'easily led' lunation, a bit of a crazy one. Mars is in a mutable T-square with Jupiter and Neptune, the font of much that is chaotic and disorganised in the world at the moment. Mercury is conjunct Venus offering an impulse of merriment and a scattering of important changes. Seven bodies are in mutable and earth signs, zero in air and only 1 in fixed renders a 'shifting sands' time, all is in motion, all is in flux. This Full Moon squares Donald Trump's Moon which will be unsettling for him, squares Mars and opposes Neptune in the USA chart, indicating difficulties there. It opposes Venus and Mars in the Belgium chart, hits Pluto in Netherlands chart, squares the UK Labour party Pluto, squares Venus and Saturn and trines the Sun in the Iraq chart, trines Mars in Greta Thornberg's chart and is conjunct the Venus of Justin Bieber. At the exact moment of Full Moon Mars and Neptune straddle Bremen, Florence and Tripoli. Jupiter rises at Singapore and sets at New Orleans. Saturn and the lunar node straddle Gorki, Mars culminates at Ulan Bator. After the Full Moon has climaxed we are in for important changes as Mercury and Venus dance into Libra. The Moon is now void of course for most of the remainder of the day. 05.26 Mars at 17 Virgo opposition Neptune at 17 Pisces 06.54 The Sun at 21 Virgo waxing sesuiquadrate Uranus at 6 Taurus 07.16 Mercury ingress Libra 09.41 Mercury at zero Libra waxing biquintile Uranus at 6 Taurus 13.45 Venus ingress Libra 16.59 Venus at zero Libra waxing biquintile Uranus at 6 Taurus 22.01 Mercury at 1 Libra waning bi-septile Saturn at 14 Capricorn 22.34 The Moon ingress Aries 23.35 The Moon at 1 Aries opposition Venus at 1 Libra

Saturday's Full Moon coincided with a Yemeni drone attack on two Saudi oil facilities (photo above). Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels claimed that they had carried out the attacks. US secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that Tehran was behind them. Iran has accused the US of 'deceit' . All eyes will be on the oil markets when they reopen on Monday, with experts expecting a significant rise in price. The Full Moon was conjunct the IC of the Saudi chart (Jan 15th 1902 03:45 LMT). Saturn at the moment of Full Moon was conjunct the local IC of Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Pluto at 17 Gemini is the 'missing point' in mutable T-square in the skies right now. Today....maybe a sense of practical urgency. Mercury and Venus are now in Libra, things have changed a little over the weekend. 'War and peace' is the story now. 02:00 to 03:00 A tight Cardinal 'T' square forms involving the Moon, her node and Saturn. 02.28 The Moon at 14 Aries waning square the lunar node at 14 Cancer 02.30 The Moon at 14 Aries waxing square Saturn at 14 Capricorn 07.29 The Moon at 16 Aries waxing trine Jupiter at 16 Sagittarius 11.59 The Moon at 19 Aries waning quincunx Mars at 19 Virgo 16.03 The Moon at 21 Aries waxing square Pluto at 21 Capricorn, moon void 17.55 Venus at 3 Libra waning tri-decile Pluto at 21 Capricorn 21.55 Mercury at 4 Libra waning quintile Jupiter at 16 Sagittarius 22.07 The Moon at 24 Aries waning quincunx The Sun at 24 Virgo Today the Sun is at 24 degrees Virgo. Mars is also in Virgo. Mercury and Venus are in Libra. Saturn and Pluto are in Capricorn. There are 6 days to the Equinox. We are in inter-eclipse season weeks. Up to Sept 19th the Jupiter square Neptune aspect forms a mutable T-square with Mars. Mercury is now a direct evening star in Libra. Diplomacy and deals are to the fore. Mercury squares Saturn on Sep 22nd, tough talking, sextiles Jupiter on Sept 24th, charm offensive, and squares Pluto on Sept 29th, words of warning. Mercury enters Scorpio on Oct 3rd. Mercury next turns retrograde on Oct 31st 2019, (Brexit day!?) at 28 Scorpio, conjunct Venus for the 2nd time this season. Venus is now in Libra, as an evening star. Grace and beauty to the fore. Venus squares Saturn on Sept 25th, tempering the grace, sextiles Jupiter on Sept 28th, accentuating it, and squares Pluto on Oct 1st, graciously wanton. Venus slides into Scorpio on Oct 8th. She is an evening star for the remainder of 2019. Venus is retrograde from May 13th 2020 (at 22 Gemini) to June 25th 2020 (5 Gemini). Mars is in Virgo. Mars here brings a time of 'works'.

A push towards 'changes for the better' results from the potent Mars trine Pluto aspect today. This could be the most important day of the week. I notice stationary Saturn has been squaring the UK's natal lunar node of late 'thwarting progress'. Transiting Jupiter is applying conjunct Keir Starmer's Mercury/Neptune midpoint which 'harbors great hopes'. Sajid Javid has transiting Jupiter square his lunar node, 'difficult adjustments'. Further afield that 'now direct' Saturn is conjunct Russia's Neptune (1991 chart), and exactly squares Putin's natal Sun. Pressures are on there. Today..... 02:00 to 03:30 A tight Earth Grand Trine forms involving the Moon, Mars and Pluto. 02.20 The accelerating disseminating Moon at 20 Taurus waning trine Mars at 20 Virgo 03.03 The Moon at 21 Taurus waxing trine Pluto at 21 Capricorn 03.25 The Sun at 26 Virgo waning tri-decile Saturn at 14 Capricorn 10.27 Venus at 6 Libra waxing quincunx Uranus at 6 Taurus 13.57 The Moon at 26 Taurus waning trine The Sun at 26 Virgo.

Friday buzz enlivened by the Moon in Gemini. Get moving. 01.36 The Sun at 27 Virgo waning bi-novile Jupiter at 17 Sagittarius 04.37 Mars at 21 Virgo waxing sesuiquadrate Uranus at 6 Taurus 05.45 Venus at 7 Libra waning quad-novile Neptune at 17 Pisces 10.15 Mercury at 10 Libra waxing tri-septile Uranus at 6 Taurus 10.51 The disseminating Moon accelerating at 7 Gemini waning trine Venus at 7 Libra 17.24 The Moon at 11 Gemini waning trine Mercury at 11 Libra

A cardinal 'T' square forms involving Mercury and Venus square the node opposition Saturn for the next 7 days. This will test both heart and mind. Today is busy and buzzy. A good time to send messages. Keep in touch, make contact. 04:30 to 05:30 A tight Mutable 'T' square forms involving the Moon, Jupiter and Neptune. 04.55 The Moon, accelerating towards her last quarter phase, at 17 Gemini opposition Jupiter at 17 Sagittarius 05.02 The Moon at 17 Gemini waxing square Neptune at 17 Pisces 11.48 The Moon at 21 Gemini waxing quincunx Pluto at 21 Capricorn 14.06 The Moon at 22 Gemini waning square Mars at 22 Virgo 16.45 Jupiter at 17 Sagittarius waning square Neptune at 17 Pisces The last one of these, a hallmark of 2019, led a lot of people astray. I said at the start of the year 'Popular movements, confused affiliations'. 22.03 Mercury at 13 Libra waning tri-septile Neptune at 17 Pisces

In the UK quarrels overshadowed the first day of Labour conference in Brighton. Leader Jeremy Corbyn quashed a motion to oust his deputy, Tom Watson. The Labour party's progressed Moon recently (July 2nd this year) entered Sagittarius and is truly besieged as she approaches a most difficult and dynamic progressed full moon in June 2020. There are also very difficult midpoint transits to the chart right now and the Labour Party progressed Sun is square her progressed Saturn later this year. I don't fancy a bet on their election success right now. Today is the last full day of the astrological month of Virgo. The Northern Hemisphere Autumn Equinox is on Monday. 02.42 The accelerating Moon reaches her Last Quarter phase. The Moon is void of course for 2 hours. 04.52 The Moon ingresses Cancer bringing on a wealth of feeling and tenaciousness. 10.52 Mercury at 14 Libra squares the lunar node at 14 Cancer Mid 'inter eclipse season' phenomena. 15.32 The Moon at 6 Cancer waxing sextile Uranus at 6 Taurus 16.19 Mercury at 14 Libra waning square Saturn at 14 Capricorn Slighty sombre musings. 19.21 Venus at 10 Libra waxing tri-septile Uranus at 6 Taurus 23.31 The Moon at 10 Cancer waning square Venus at 10 Libra

04.57 The accelerating last quarter Moon conjunction her node at 14 Cancer 05.39 The Moon at 14 Cancer opposition Saturn at 14 Capricorn 06.03 The Sun at 30 Virgo waxing biquintile Uranus at 6 Taurus 07.23 The Moon at 15 Cancer waning square Mercury at 15 Libra 07.52 The Sun ingresses Libra The Sun crosses the equator at 07 52 GMT and enters Libra. Day and night are balanced world over. In the northern hemisphere autumn begins. It is the first day of spring in the south. The Libran Equinox this year has a fast last quarter Moon in Cancer applying trine to Neptune, so reflective financial considerations will be to the fore over the following three months. Mercury applies sextile to Jupiter engendering a degree of positivism. A predominance of planets in cardinal signs and a dearth of planets in Fixed signs suggest much is being mooted right now but very little will stick. At the exact moment of Equinox Mars culminates threateningly over Iran. The Moon rises at San Francisco and sets over Sri Lanka. 10.56 The Moon at 17 Cancer waxing trine Neptune at 17 Pisces 11.23 The Moon at 17 Cancer waning quincunx Jupiter at 17 Sagittarius 17.22 The Moon at 21 Cancer opposition Pluto at 21 Capricorn 22.06 The Moon at 23 Cancer waning sextile Mars at 23 Virgo, moon void 22.23 Mercury at 16 Libra waxing quad-novile Uranus at 6 Taurus

Things have changed, the Sun, Mercury and Venus are in Libra. The astrological energy is now channelled into themes of social balance and order. Issues of fairness equality and composure are manifest. In terms of the seasons we in the northern hemisphere are accelerating at a great rate into the darkness, hence the drawing together. The Moon is accelerating towards her New phase in 'friends and family' Libra on Saturday. Today turns bold as the ageing Moon enters Leo. 09.21 The Moon ingresses Leo 10.27 The Sun at 1 Libra waning bi-septile Saturn at 14 Capricorn 11.13 The Moon at 1 Leo waning sextile The Sun at 1 Libra 13.58 Mercury at 17 Libra waning quincunx Neptune at 17 Pisces 17.50 Venus at 13 Libra waning tri-septile Neptune at 17 Pisces 19.13 The Moon at 6 Leo waxing square Uranus at 6 Taurus 21.01 Mercury at 17 Libra waning sextile Jupiter at 17 Sagittarius

Sun in Libra, fast Moon in Leo. Venus square Saturn. Uncompromising positions today. Formative, strong, well presented displays of creative energy. The Venus Saturn square however adds a melancholic hue to the drama. New Moon on Saturday. 07.36 The accelerating ageing Moon at 13 Leo waning sextile Venus at 13 Libra 08.36 The Moon at 14 Leo waning quincunx Saturn at 14 Capricorn 08.48 Venus at 13 Libra waxing square the lunar node at 13 Cancer A finger of fate is manifest 13:00 to 16:30 involving the Moon, Mercury and Neptune. The focus is on Neptune, bewildering consequences. 13.26 The Moon at 17 Leo waxing quincunx Neptune at 17 Pisces 13.56 The Moon reaches her balsamic phase. The procession to the weekend's Super New Moon now begins in earnest. 14.22 The Moon at 17 Leo waning trine Jupiter at 17 Sagittarius 16.15 The Moon at 19 Leo waning sextile Mercury at 19 Libra, moon void 19.20 Venus at 14 Libra waning square Saturn at 14 Capricorn 19.32 The Moon at 21 Leo waning quincunx Pluto at 21 Capricorn

The very rapidly disseminating Moon starts this day lazily void of course in Leo. From 10:38 GMT with the Moon and Mars then in Virgo we have on our hands a fiercely pugnacious, hair splitting astrological atmosphere. The two days that follow are truly 'exacting'. Mercury squaring Pluto later today is 'over anxious'. Not an easy one this. 00.42 The Sun at 3 Libra waning tri-decile Pluto at 21 Capricorn 10.38 The Moon ingresses Virgo joining Mars in that sign. 19.54 The Moon at 6 Virgo waxing trine Uranus at 6 Taurus 23.52 Mercury at 21 Libra waning square Pluto at 21 Capricorn

Last day of the old Moon. The Moon has to pass north of Mars in conjunction in the early hours of Saturday and then the New Moon in Libra occurs later that day. Libra dominates the sky now. Legal issues either side of the atlantic have correspondingly dominated the news during this past week. Today continues picky but organised. Moon in Virgo, Sun in Libra, Get tidy and get beautiful. 06.56 Venus at 16 Libra waxing quad-novile Uranus at 6 Taurus 07.47 The rapidly waning very old Moon racing at 13 Virgo sextiles her node from north of the ecliptic. 08.50 The Moon at 14 Virgo waning trine Saturn at 14 Capricorn 13:00 to 15:00 A tight Mutable 'T' square forms involving the Moon, Jupiter and Neptune. Jupiter Neptune square separating now but still very active this GMT pm. 13.22 The Moon at 17 Virgo opposition Neptune at 17 Pisces 14.45 The Moon at 18 Virgo waning square Jupiter at 18 Sagittarius 19.21 The Moon at 21 Virgo waning trine Pluto at 21 Capricorn 22.30 Mars at 26 Virgo waning tri-decile Saturn at 14 Capricorn

02.12 The Moon is at perigee, fastest and nearest to the Earth all month. Hence the 'Super Moon' status of today's lunation. 02.50 Venus at 17 Libra waning quincunx Neptune at 17 Pisces 03.59 The Moon conjunction Mars at 26 Virgo, ouch! Moon then void of course for 6 hours/ 10.05 The Moon ingresses Libra joining the Sun, Mercury and Venus in this sign. 10.26 Mercury at 23 Libra waning biquintile Neptune at 17 Pisces 18.27 Moment of NEW MOON quintile Jupiter, quincunx Uranus This New Moon is the third since the Total Solar Eclipse in Cancer on July 2nd, and the 3rd one before the Annular Solar Eclipse at 4 degrees Capricorn, conjunct Jupiter, on Boxing day 2019, the 'Singapore ring of fire'. We are midway between eclipse seasons. This New Moon holds high destiny, grace, charm, and social opportunity. At the moment of the New Moon at London, Saturn and the dragon's tail culminate, Uranus in Taurus rises, on the Horizon. A sixth house stellium wafts energy onto the state of play. In Political Astrology, the 10th house is the Government, and the sixth house is the machinery of Government, services industry, health and welfare, all the necessary stuff to keep us well and sane. Common sense. Clear headed. Momentous stuff really. The serpent's tail (lunar south node) conjunct Saturn symbolises falls from power. It also seems to me that by the time of the next New Moon, in Scorpio, the day before the supposed Brexit leave day, new pieces on the chessboard will have been set in place and new realities unleashed. This New Moon sounds out a stern note for the UK, for whom the bell tolls. The New Moon at 5 degrees Libra is positioned less than 1.5 degrees from the UK chart ascendant. This New Moon opposes the Queen's Mercury. It opposes the UK Labour party's Mars. It also hits Donald Trump's Neptune and Nicola Sturgeon's Uranus.It hooks into the Oman chart Full Moon. It hits the Saturn conjunct MC of the Egyptian chart,and it hits the Venus of Ursula vander Lyon's chart and Meghan Markle's Jupiter Saturn conjunction. The astrological make up at this New Moon pointer that we are at right now has equal large measures of bodies in Air and Earth signs. This represents a dry fresh wind, logic, coolness, empiricism, measure and clarity. The New Moon is tightly in waning quintile aspect to Jupiter, free expression, a gift, a release. New Moon quincunx Uranus, a shot of the divine.. Happy New Moon. At the moment of New Moon today the Moon rises at Wellington (UK) it is Moonset at Inverness, and Seville Spain. Venus sets at Dublin. The Saturn lunar node 'lines' hit Cuba, San Salvador and New Delhi, as well as London where Uranus rises, exactly on the horizon. 19.06 The Moon at 6 Libra waxing quincunx Uranus at 6 Taurus. 19:19 The New Moon is quintile Jupiter. 23.41 Venus at 18 Libra waning sextile Jupiter at 18 Sagittarius

Yesterday's libran New Moon energy infuses the biosphere. Legal Libra issues dominate the news. The rapidly waxing infant new Moon is conjunct Venus in Libra today. This would be simply beautiful but with both then applying square to Pluto there is a propensity for the good grace to be tarnished. 04.15 The Sun at 6 Libra waxing quincunx Uranus at 6 Taurus 05.28 Mercury at 24 Libra waning bi-novile Saturn at 14 Capricorn 06:30 to 08:30 A tight Fixed 'T' square forms involving the Moon, her node and Saturn. 06.52 The Moon squares her node from north of the ecliptic. 08.09 The Moon at 14 Libra waning square Saturn at 14 Capricorn 09.53 The Sun at 6 Libra waning quintile Jupiter at 18 Sagittarius 12.34 The Moon at 17 Libra waning quincunx Neptune at 17 Pisces 14.28 The Moon at 18 Libra waning sextile Jupiter at 18 Sagittarius 15.39 The Moon conjunction Venus at 19 Libra 18.41 The Moon at 21 Libra waning square Pluto at 21 Capricorn

The day intensifies, wills and purposes harden. (The Moon enters Scorpio). Morals slip. (Venus squares Pluto tomorrow.) 02.06 The young fast Moon decelerating at 25 Libra conjunction Mercury at 25 Libra, moon void 05.39 The Sun at 7 Libra waning quad-novile Neptune at 17 Pisces 09.43 The Moon ingresses Scorpio 18.56 The Moon at 6 Scorpio opposition Uranus at 6 Taurus Today the Sun is at 7 degrees Libra. Mercury and Venus are also in Libra. Saturn and Pluto are in Capricorn. There are 82 days to the Northern Hemisphere Winter Solstice. We are in inter-eclipse season weeks. Mercury is now a direct evening star in Libra. Diplomacy and deals are to the fore. Mercury enters Scorpio on Oct 3rd. Mercury next turns retrograde on Oct 31st 2019, (Brexit day!?) at 28 Scorpio, conjunct Venus for the 2nd time this season. Venus is now in Libra, as an evening star. Grace and beauty to the fore. Venus squares Pluto tomorrow, graciously wanton. Venus slides into Scorpio on Oct 8th. She is an evening star for the remainder of 2019. Venus is retrograde from May 13th 2020 (at 22 Gemini) to June 25th 2020 (5 Gemini). Mars is in Virgo. Mars here brings a time of 'works'. Mars enters Libra on Oct 4th. We are in a time of of personal industry and project where precision and perfection are strived for. In the wider sphere Mars in Virgo trine Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn has the symbolism of investment in weaponry and an emphasis on military strategy. Politically and socially the devil resides in the detail. Jupiter is now moving direct in Sagittarius. This is a visionary time. The motivation here is a need to move, to grow, to seek freedom, to expand and to 'open up'. Optimism, energy, forthrightness, faith in the future and expression of adventure are the hallmarks of the residence. With Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, Jupiter in Sagittarius adds wit and wonderment before the inevitable astrological maelstrom of 2020 when he joins the two heavy weights in the sign of the goat. Jupiter is all the time moving towards the 2020 union with Saturn and Pluto in the last decan of Capricorn. Jupiter then moves on to conjunct Neptune at 24 degrees Pisces in 2022. The Grand Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurs on the Winter Solstice 2020. This will be a 'mutation conjunction'. It is the first of an unbroken series of Jupiter Saturn conjunctions in Air signs which extend till around 2140. Since 1840 all the Jupiter Saturn conjunctions have been in Earth signs, with the exception of the 1980-1981 triple conjunction. Saturn is direct in Capricorn . The energy of Saturn in this sign is dense, practical, realistic, industrious on a huge scale, formative, establishing and sustaining. Saturn was last in Capricorn between 1988 and 1991. During the residence Saturn sextiles Neptune in Pisces three times during 2019, 31st Jan, 18th June and Nov 9th. All world religions face serious issues of faith, science and political change during these times. The most important aspect is Saturn conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. The are warlike connotations with this symbolism, this is a danger zone. The last time these two astrological heavy weights meet in Capricorn was in 1518, and before that in 1248. We are dealing here with 'forces majeure'. Saturn remains in Capricorn till Feb 17th 2020. Uranus the planet of inspiration and revolution is now retrograde (till Jan 11th 2020) in Taurus the sign of enduring institution and banking. Uranus remains in Taurus for 7 years. Massive changes in the world of finance and ownership are about to take place. The last time Uranus resided in Taurus was between 1934 and 1941 and before that 1850 to 1859 the time of the Industrial Revolution. Neptune is now retrograde in Pisces he has been in this sign since 2011. Neptune turned retrograde at 19 degrees Pisces on June 21 2019. Neptune in Pisces is symbolic of the greatest watery immersion in the deepest subliminal and spiritual ocean. Neptune is in its own sign of Pisces, a transit that only occurs every 165 years. Neptune rules Pisces and also rules the deepest realms of the subconscious mind. The oceanic vibration of love is flowing with a deeper and higher frequency. Our human mission is to flow with it. Art, music and science are enhanced with the progress of this residence. The blue hair we see these days is very Neptune in Pisces. Neptune enters Aries on March 30th 2025. Pluto is now retrograde in Capricorn until October 2nd. Saturn is conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. This is the 'serious zone'. The following astrological heavyweight event, later on in 2020, is the 'Grand Conjunction' of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurring on the Winter Solstice of that year, beckoning to a healthier 'New Age Feeling' just a little way beyond. Pluto enters Aquarius on March 23rd 2023. The next eclipse is an Annular Solar Eclipse (the 'Singapore ring of fire')at 4 Capricorn (conjunct Jupiter) on Boxing day 2019. The next lunar eclipse in a penumbral lunar eclipse at 20 Cancer (opposite Mercury) on Jan 10th 2020.

An activist involved in anti-government protests in Hong Kong has been shot in the chest by police during a clash. The incident came as thousands of people demonstrated in defiance of a protest ban for the 70th anniversary of Communist rule in China. Though people have been shot by rubber bullets in previous protests, this is the first injury from a live round. Transiting Mars squared the Hong Kong Saturn (1841 chart) yesterday. The Hong Kong progressed chart is 10 years away from it's 7th progressed Full Moon since its inception in 1841. This one in 2029 is a Total Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius square progressed Mars in Scorpio and sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius, conjunct Neptune. It's a really powerful event, very fixed and uncompromising but not without hope. The next 10 years are tumultuously significant for the Hong Kong region Today... 00.40 The Moon reaches her waxing crescent phase 09.47 The Moon decelerating at 29 Scorpio waxing sextile Mars at 29 Virgo.

Moon and Jupiter in Sagittarius. A far seeing day. 04.43 The decelerating waxing crescent Moon at 10 Sagittarius sextiles The Sun at 10 Libra 08.16 Mercury enters Scorpio as an evening star. Mercury resides in this sign for a lengthy 68 days because of his retrograde phase. Mercury transits the disc of the Sun on Nov 11th stamping a cosmic 'top priority' on the period. He sextiles Saturn and Pluto and trines Neptune 3 times during this period. A favorable repeated mixture of consolidation, imagination and must needed changes. Mercury opposes Uranus on Oct 7th, an unsettling start. He enters his shadow on Oct 14th, sextiles Saturn Oct 14th, trines Neptune on Oct 15th and sextiles Pluto on Oct 19th, the day his apparent speed falls below a degree per day. Venus overtakes faltering Mercury on Oct 30th at 28 Scorpio. Mercury stations retrograde at this degree on Oct 31st, the supposed Brexit day, potentially a real cliff hanger and an inevitable about turn. Mercury sextiles Pluto (2nd time) on Nov 10th, transits the Sun at 19 Scorpio on Nov 11th, and then as a morning star, sextiles both Saturn and Pluto, for the 2nd time on Nov 13th, an immensely serious, sobering and penetrative day at the time of the Full Moon. Mercury stations direct on Nov 20th at 12 Scorpio, and for the final time, finally trines Neptune on Nov 28th, now back up to speed, finally sextiles Saturn on Nov 30th and finally sextiles Pluto on Dec 3rd. Mercury leaves his shadow on Dec 8th, and leaves Scorpio for Sagittarius on Dec 9th. Quite a dance this one, looking forward to it.

A 'braking force', karmic inertia. 00.57 The last quarter Moon accelerating at 5 Leo waxing square Uranus at 5 Taurus 12.58 The Moon at 12 Leo waning sextile Mars at 12 Libra 16.46 Mars at 12 Libra waxing square the lunar node at 12 Cancer 17.47 Mars at 12 Libra waning tri-septile Neptune at 16 Pisces Another finger of fate acutely focused on Saturn 17:00 to 21:00 18.06 The Moon at 15 Leo waning quincunx Saturn at 15 Capricorn 20.29 The Moon at 16 Leo waxing quincunx Neptune at 16 Pisces 21.44 Mercury at 23 Scorpio waning septile Saturn at 15 Capricorn 22.54 The Moon at 18 Leo waning square Venus at 18 Scorpio

The 'slam on the brakes' Mars square Saturn aspect is tightening, exact on Sunday. Venus sweetens the pill somewhat on Friday by sextiling Pluto. What follows on Monday 28th is a New Moon very tightly opposite Uranus, shocking pink. Mercury stations on October 31st bringing all to an 'about turn'. Mars squares Pluto on November 5th severing the connections with violent force. Today augers the uncompromising changes ahead. 04.01 The rapidly waning Moon at 21 Leo quincunx Pluto at 21 Capricorn 05.42 The Moon at 22 Leo waning trine Jupiter at 22 Sagittarius 09.15 The Moon at 24 Leo waning square Mercury at 24 Scorpio The Moon is then void of course for 12 hours. 16.10 Venus at 19 Scorpio waxing decile Mars at 13 Libra 17.21 The Sun enters Scorpio and new astrological month begins. 19.31 The Moon enters Virgo 19.40 The Moon at zero Virgo waning sextile The Sun at zero Scorpio

Well here we all are at the start of the astrological month of Scorpio. There are 60 days to the Solstice. The rapidly waning Moon is in Virgo. This solar lunar combination is a 'rare vintage', rich deep and refined. The next two days are focused, practical, incisive and to the point. Mars applies square to Saturn, a highway robbery. 03.24 The Moon at 5 Virgo waxing trine Uranus at 5 Taurus 04.43 The Sun at zero Scorpio waning septile Jupiter at 22 Sagittarius 11.17 The Sun at 1 Scorpio waning bi-novile Pluto at 21 Capricorn 13.44 Mercury at 25 Scorpio waning quad-novile Uranus at 5 Taurus 15.00 The Moon at 12 Virgo sextiles her node at 12 Cancer from north of the equator. 20.06 The Moon at 15 Virgo waning trine Saturn at 15 Capricorn 22.04 The Moon reaches her balsamic phase. The procession to the New Moon now begins in earnest. 22.07 The Moon at 16 Virgo opposition Neptune at 16 Pisces 23.03 The Sun at 1 Scorpio waning sesuiquadrate Neptune at 16 Pisces

Venus sextile Pluto.

The old Moon, Venus, Jupiter and Pluto are in tight geometry 05:00 to 10:00. Seems very 'pleasure seeking' to me, very sweet. 05.02 The rapidly waning balsamic Moon at 21 Virgo sextile Venus at 21 Scorpio 05.27 The Moon at 21 Virgo waning trine Pluto at 21 Capricorn 07.37 The Moon at 22 Virgo waning square Jupiter at 22 Sagittarius 09.53 Venus at 21 Scorpio waning sextile Pluto at 21 Capricorn 13.00 The Moon at 25 Virgo waning sextile Mercury at 25 Scorpio. The Moon is void for nearly 7 hours. 20.21 The Moon enters Libra

The rapid ancient Moon conjuncts Mars in Libra today. Social ignition, sweet and wild. Nature is deepening and darkening in the northern hemisphere, surfacing to light and lusciousness in the south. Mars making purchase on Saturn, a tight grip, exact tomorrow. 03.53 The old balsamic Moon at 5 Libra waxing quincunx Uranus at 5 Taurus 10.38 The Moon is at perigee, fastest and nearest to the Earth all month. 15.11 The Moon at 12 Libra squares her node, maximum north of the ecliptic. 16.47 Venus at 22 Scorpio waning semi-sextile Jupiter at 22 Sagittarius 19.49 The Moon conjunction Mars at 15 Libra 20.02 The Sun at 3 Scorpio waning quintile Saturn at 15 Capricorn 20.33 The Moon at 15 Libra waning square Saturn at 15 Capricorn 20.50 Mars at 15 Libra waxing quad-novile Uranus at 5 Taurus 22.18 The Moon at 16 Libra waning quincunx Neptune at 16 Pisces

The day before the New Moon. Mars squares Saturn exact. Ancient Moon mainly void. A prophetic day, with a tight grip. 05.39 The Moon at 21 Libra waning square Pluto at 21 Capricorn 08.23 The Moon at 22 Libra waning sextile Jupiter at 22 Sagittarius, moon void for 12 hours. 14.32 Mars at 15 Libra waning square Saturn at 15 Capricorn 19.27 Venus at 24 Scorpio waning septile Saturn at 15 Capricorn 20.31 The Moon enters Scorpio joining the Sun, Mercury and Venus is this sign. NEW MOON early tomorrow.

03.39 Moment of NEW MOON opposite Uranus. From Marjorie Orr.. New Moons roll round every four weeks so aren't too interesting. But the Scorpio New Moon on October 28th could be more noteworthy than most. At 4 degrees Scorpio it's in an exact opposition to Uranus in Taurus bringing a few jolting surprises. And more ominously still there's an exact accident-prone/violent Mars square Saturn with the shadow of the approaching brutal and ruthless Mars square Pluto also in effect through till early November. High Noon stakes all round with Turkey's five degree Scorpio Sun triggered by the New Moon and Uranus. The USA Sun square Saturn in Libra will be reacting to the Mars square Saturn as Trump's impeachment and sinking popularity gathers a head of steam. Brexit is aiming for yet another do-or-die moment with the New Moon conjunct the EU's financial 2nd house Neptune with tr Uranus in a high-strung opposition to their Neptune as economic concerns over a global recession and Germany's sagging industrial complex grow. The New Moon at Aleppo, Syria, at present under Turkish bombardment, has the New Moon opposition Uranus exactly across the Ascendant/Descendant axis. Set for Washington it puts Mars exactly on the IC and for the UK Saturn Pluto in the 4th, neither of which are progressive. http://www.star4cast.ca/astrology-of-todays-news/ and from Marina (Darkstar astrology) we have... Moon Scorpio Decan 1, The Moon has the precise degree of its fall in this decan (3º Scorpio) which is suppose to make it extremely unfortunate. This is the devouring moon, the goddess Kali and vagina dentata (yes, a lady's part with teeth!). The Moon is desperately famished here and can also be sexually insatiable. The energy either becomes totally ruthless and Plutonic with its hunger, or feels a great fear of it. Those who learn to understand nature's sometimes cruel cycles of death and rebirth, are less inclined to act in a 'kill or be killed' mode because they have faith in the power of resurrection. Nature always seeks to corrects itself, even if it has to go through a bloody abortive stage first. This is a decan of extremes so it seems that success here can only be all-or-nothing. It's a blazing hot summer heatwave or a severe frost. Because of the stark contrasts with Moon Scorpio 1, we have to learn to adapt fast. Those that do not sink at this time, develop sharp brains and become wise survivors. The survival of the fittest plays out here and it's true this decan can fail spectacularly at times. But generally, despite branded 'unfortunate' the Moon here can actually work to produce unexpected excellence. https://darkstarastrology.com/new-moon-october-2019/ This is certainly a New Moon of shock and sensation. The New Moon is within 12' of exact opposition to Uranus. Mars squares Satun and Pluto which is harsh and brutal. Venus applies in conjunction to a 'faltering Mercury' inducing events of import. Eight bodies in Water and Earth signs create an astrological background of self repression. Heart rules the head. Emotions are to the fore. This New Moon is the 4th since the Total Solar Eclipse in Cancer on July 2nd, and the penultimate one before the Annular Solar Eclipse at 4 degrees Capricorn, conjunct Jupiter, on Boxing day 2019, the 'Singapore ring of fire'. At the exact moment of New Moon, the Moon rises at Johannesburg, the Sun, Moon and Uranus are aligned to Syria. Today's New Moon hits the Sun of Turkey, the Moon of Italy, the Venus of Nigeria, the Mars of North Korea, the Jupiter of Guinea, the Uranus of Spain and Angola, the Neptune of the EU, and the Pluto of Hezbollah. Key personalities hit are Sun, Julia Roberts, Mercury, David Cameron and Chelsea Davy, Jupiter, Mariah Carey, Saturn, Elvis Costello, Neptune Billy Bragg, Ursula Von dey Lyon and Mike Pence, Pluto, Wayne Rooney and the lunar node, Ayatollah Khamanei. 03.59 The Moon at 5 Scorpio opposition Uranus at 5 Taurus 08.16 The Sun at 5 Scorpio opposition Uranus at 5 Taurus 12.11 Venus at 25 Scorpio waning quad-novile Uranus at 5 Taurus 15.26 The Moon at 12 Scorpio waxing trine the lunar node at 12 Cancer 21.20 The Moon at 15 Scorpio waning sextile Saturn at 15 Capricorn 22.52 The Moon at 16 Scorpio waning trine Neptune at 16 Pisces

https://earthsky.org

A triple conjunction is manifest in Scorpio involving the infant Moon, almost stationary Mercury and Venus (26-27 degrees Scorpio). Deeply intense and to the point, straight to the heart of the matter. A day of discovering truth. 03.58 Mars at 16 Libra waning quincunx Neptune at 16 Pisces 06.33 The Moon at 21 Scorpio waning sextile Pluto at 21 Capricorn 15.15 The Moon at 26 Scorpio conjunction Venus at 26 Scorpio 17.35 The Moon at 27 Scorpio conjunction Mercury at 27 Scorpio, moon void 22.00 The Moon enters Sagittarius

05.42 The young Moon rapidly waxing at 5 Sagittarius quincunx Uranus at 5 Taurus 10.09 Venus at 27 Scorpio waxing novile Mars at 17 Libra 22.06 Mercury conjunction Venus at 28 Scorpio Mercury makes only one conjunction with Venus next year that is on May 22nd 2020 at 20 Gemini.

Anyway, today is a day to look ahead, but think reflectively. Mercury turns retrograde. Hedge your bets! 01.49 The Moon at 16 Sagittarius waning square Neptune at 16 Pisces 04.11 The Moon at 17 Sagittarius waxing sextile Mars at 17 Libra 08.19 Venus at 28 Scorpio waning tri-decile Neptune at 16 Pisces 10.10 Mercury at 28 Scorpio waxing novile Mars at 18 Libra 13.42 The Moon reaches her waxing crescent phase 14:24 Closest conjunction of the Moon and Jupiter (0.12 degrees) almost an occultation. 14.30 The Moon conjunction Jupiter at 23 Sagittarius, moon void for nearly 12 hours. 15.34 MERCURY TURNS RETROGRADE. Mercury is retrograde till Nov 20th, when he turns direct at 12 Scorpio. Mercury transits the disc of the Sun on Nov 11th stamping a cosmic 'top priority' on the period.

UK General Election Dec 12th 2019. There is a great deal of astrological change to occur before this date. The astrological situation is much different to right now. Mercury will have completed his retrograde phase. Jupiter will have moved into Capricorn. Venus, will be tightly sandwiched between Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. A very earthy astrological atmosphere will prevail. Fiscal priorities rule. The pound in the pocket common sense. Dec 12th is the day of the Full Moon in Gemini, vibrant, square Neptune, misleading, which peaks a couple of hours before the polls open. For the whole of the time the polls are open the Moon will be void of course, suggesting an uncertain, inconclusive election and outcome. The Moon enters Cancer as the first results are revealed, emotional outcomes and responses. Certainly there is no shortage of moonshine with the highest Full Moon of the year in progress. Transiting Jupiter is conjunct Boris Johnson's south lunar node, a snake in the grass, (M.Gove on a roll,transiting Jupiter and Uranus earth trine his Virgo Sun, and a progressed Full Moon in sway. N.Farage has Jupiter trine his Mercury, dare I place a bet on him becoming a MP?), transiting Saturn opposes Boris' Mars/Uranus midpoint, quite shocking and oppressive, transiting Pluto opposes his Mars/Pluto, very forceful, seen it before, transiting Mars conjuncts his Neptune opposite his Jupiter, literary hooking into this dominant opposition in his chart, quite extraordinary. Transiting Saturn is opposite the UK Moon indicative of a 'downbeat population'. Jo Swinson (5/Feb/1980 no birthtime) does have a rather bleak set of transits during this election season. Mid life impending T.Pluto square Pluto, T.Saturn conjunct Sun/Neptune, T.Jupiter square Mars/Pluto. She does have her 2nd Progressed New Moon sometime soon(+ or - 6 months, because of uncertain birth data). This lunation sees the New Moon in Pisces opposite Saturn, square Neptune. It is counter intuitive to see this as her life's big disappointment. Progressed New Moons are powerful, we can't write her off completely. Day 1 (of 20) of Mercury retrograde. Expect delays and detours on life's journey during this period. 02.40 The waxing decelerating crescent Moon enters Capricorn joining Saturn and Pluto in this sign. A couple of rough and tough days are ahead. The best and the worst. The next planetary aspect to stamp its influence on the season is Mars square Pluto exact on Tuesday. Not a nice one, indeed symbolic of brutal violence. 02.41 The Sun at 8 Scorpio waning semi-square Jupiter at 23 Sagittarius 09.09 Venus at 29 Scorpio waning septile Pluto at 21 Capricorn 10.47 The Moon at 4 Capricorn waning trine Uranus at 4 Taurus 13.59 The Sun at 9 Scorpio waning quintile Pluto at 21 Capricorn 19.22 The Moon at 9 Capricorn waxing sextile The Sun at 9 Scorpio 20.26 Venus enters Sagittarius joining Jupiter in this sign. Venus resides in Sagittarius as an evening star for just 26 days, She only makes two major aspects, a beguiling square to Neptune on Nov 14th, and a resplendent conjunction with Jupiter on Nov 24th at 28 Sagittarius. On that day, a Sunday the Moon and Mars in Scorpio oppose Uranus, a pretty wild combination. This residence is essentially sweet, adventurous, a little wild, dare I say, and brief. Venus enters Capricorn on Nov 26th. 23.02 Venus at zero Sagittarius waning tri-septile Uranus at 4 Taurus 23.45 The Moon at 11 Capricorn opposition her ascending node at 11 Cancer

https://consciousreminder.com/

After a 'crawler gear' start (GMT) with a lunar occultation of Saturn, another 'rough and tough, work hard play hard' Moon in Capricorn day ensues. 06.27 Venus at 1 Sagittarius waning semi-square Saturn at 16 Capricorn 07.29 The waxing crescent Moon conjunction Saturn at 16 Capricorn manifest as a lunar occultation of Saturn from the areas shown on the map below. 08.35 The Moon at 16 Capricorn waning sextile Neptune at 16 Pisces 14.11 The Moon at 19 Capricorn waxing square Mars at 19 Libra 17.39 The Moon conjunction Pluto at 21 Capricorn

05.47 The waxing crescent Moon decelerating at 27 Capricorn sextiles retro-Mercury at 27 Scorpio. The Moon is then void of course for over 5 hours. 11.21 The Moon enters Aquarius 15.43 The Moon at 2 Aquarius waxing sextile Venus at 2 Sagittarius 19.51 The Moon at 4 Aquarius waning square Uranus at 4 Taurus

The fixed first quarter Moon stamps a resolute firmness on the day. Nothing appears to change. Mars continues to apply to a square with Pluto. A general lack of finesse colours the next two days. 01.01 The Sun at 11 Scorpio trines her node from north of the ecliptic 10.24 The Moon at Fixed First Quarter 10.38 Venus at 3 Sagittarius waning bi-septile Neptune at 16 Pisces 16.37 Retro-Mercury at 26 Scorpio waxing decile Mars at 20 Libra Today the Sun reaches 12 degrees Scorpio. Retrograde Mercury in also Scorpio. Venus and Jupiter are in Sagittarius. Saturn and Pluto are in Capricorn, 5 degrees separate. Saturn is conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. There are 48 days to the Northern Hemisphere Winter Solstice. A challengingly forceful Mars squares Pluto aspect peaks on Thursday. Mercury is now a retrograde evening star in Scorpio. Mercury transits the disc of the Sun on Nov 11th stamping a cosmic 'top priority' on the period. He sextiles Saturn and Pluto and trines Neptune 3 times during this period. A favorable repeated mixture of consolidation, imagination and must needed changes. Mercury sextiles Pluto (2nd time) on Nov 10th, transits the Sun at 19 Scorpio on Nov 11th, and then as a morning star, sextiles both Saturn and Pluto, for the 2nd time on Nov 13th, an immensely serious, sobering and penetrative day at the time of the Full Moon. Mercury stations direct on Nov 20th at 12 Scorpio, and for the final time, finally trines Neptune on Nov 28th, now back up to speed, finally sextiles Saturn on Nov 30th and finally sextiles Pluto on Dec 3rd. Mercury leaves his shadow on Dec 8th, and leaves Scorpio for Sagittarius on Dec 9th. Quite a dance this one, looking forward to it. It gets beneath the surface, delves for truth, seeks answers and embraces the mystery. Venus is now in Sagittarius, as an evening star. She only makes two major aspects, a beguiling square to Neptune on Nov 14th, and a resplendent conjunction with Jupiter on Nov 24th at 28 Sagittarius. On that day, a Sunday the Moon and Mars in Scorpio oppose Uranus, a pretty wild combination. This residence is essentially sweet, adventurous, a little wild, dare I say, and brief. Venus enters Capricorn on Nov 26th.Venus is an evening star for the remainder of 2019 and is retrograde from May 13th 2020 (at 22 Gemini) to June 25th 2020 (5 Gemini). Mars is in Libra. The Mars in Libra period is indecisive. All alternatives are considered before action is taken. Motivation is social. Communication and artistic expression are to the fore. This is a tough residence. Mars squares Pluto on Nov 5th which is potentially violent. Mars sextiles Jupiter on Nov 12th which is much more optimistic. Mars leaves Libra for Scorpio on Nov 19th. Jupiter is now moving direct in Sagittarius. This is a visionary time. The motivation here is a need to move, to grow, to seek freedom, to expand and to 'open up'. Optimism, energy, forthrightness, faith in the future and expression of adventure are the hallmarks of the residence. With Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, Jupiter in Sagittarius adds wit and wonderment before the inevitable astrological maelstrom of 2020 when he joins the two heavy weights in the sign of the goat. Jupiter is all the time moving towards the 2020 union with Saturn and Pluto in the last decan of Capricorn. Jupiter then moves on to conjunct Neptune at 24 degrees Pisces in 2022. The Grand Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurs on the Winter Solstice 2020. This will be a 'mutation conjunction'. It is the first of an unbroken series of Jupiter Saturn conjunctions in Air signs which extend till around 2140. Since 1840 all the Jupiter Saturn conjunctions have been in Earth signs, with the exception of the 1980-1981 triple conjunction. Saturn is direct in Capricorn . The energy of Saturn in this sign is dense, practical, realistic, industrious on a huge scale, formative, establishing and sustaining. Saturn was last in Capricorn between 1988 and 1991. During the residence Saturn sextiles Neptune in Pisces three times during 2019, 31st Jan, 18th June and Nov 9th. The most important aspect is Saturn conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. The are warlike connotations with this symbolism, this is a danger zone. The last time these two astrological heavy weights meet in Capricorn was in 1518, and before that in 1248. Saturn remains in Capricorn till Feb 17th 2020. Uranus the planet of inspiration and revolution is now retrograde (till Jan 11th 2020) in Taurus the sign of enduring institution and banking. Uranus remains in Taurus for 7 years. Massive changes in the world of finance and ownership are about to take place. The last time Uranus resided in Taurus was between 1934 and 1941 and before that 1850 to 1859 the time of the Industrial Revolution. Neptune is now retrograde in Pisces he has been in this sign since 2011. Neptune turned retrograde at 19 degrees Pisces on June 21 2019. Neptune in Pisces is symbolic of the greatest watery immersion in the deepest subliminal and spiritual ocean. Neptune is in its own sign of Pisces, a transit that only occurs every 165 years. Neptune rules Pisces and also rules the deepest realms of the subconscious mind. The oceanic vibration of love is flowing with a deeper and higher frequency. Our human mission is to flow with it. Art, music and science are enhanced with the progress of this residence. The blue hair we see these days is very Neptune in Pisces. Neptune enters Aries on March 30th 2025. Pluto is now direct in Capricorn. Saturn is conjunct Pluto on Jan 12th 2020. This is the 'serious zone'. The following astrological heavyweight event, later on in 2020, is the 'Grand Conjunction' of Jupiter and Saturn at the start of Aquarius occurring on the Winter Solstice of that year, beckoning to a healthier 'New Age Feeling' just a little way beyond. Pluto enters Aquarius on March 23rd 2023. The next eclipse is an Annular Solar Eclipse (the 'Singapore ring of fire') at 4 Capricorn (conjunct Jupiter) on Boxing day 2019. The next lunar eclipse in a penumbral lunar eclipse at 20 Cancer (opposite Mercury) on Jan 10th 2020. The next Total Solar Eclipse is at 23 Sagittarius (conjunct Mercury square Neptune) on Dec 14th 2020. The next Total Lunar Eclipse is at 5 Sagittarius on May 26th 2021, not visible from the UK. The next Solar Eclipse visible from the UK is at 20 Gemini on June 10th 2021. The next Total Lunar eclipse visible from the UK is at 26 Scorpio, during the early hours of May 16th 2022.

Not the easiest of days, especially the morning (GMT). Mars square Pluto and Venus quincunx Uranus spells trouble. 04.28 The first quarter Moon at 21 Aquarius trines Mars at 21 Libra 07.10 Venus at 4 Sagittarius waning quincunx Uranus at 4 Taurus 10.28 Mars at 21 Libra waning square Pluto at 21 Capricorn 11.29 The Moon at 24 Aquarius waxing sextile Jupiter at 24 Sagittarius 14.38 The Moon at 26 Aquarius waxing square retro-Mercury at 26 Scorpio. The Moon is then void of course for over 8 hours. 23.10 The Moon enters Pisces joining Neptune in this sign. As today's Mars square aspect slowly subsides be aware that astrological waves and astronomical events are approaching from Friday this week for 6 days. Gaze onward constant reader.

Sun in Scorpio, Moon in Pisces, a deep watery emotional couple of days. A time maybe to find faith and following. 07.44 The Moon at 4 Pisces waning sextile Uranus at 4 Taurus 10.42 The Moon at 6 Pisces waxing square Venus at 6 Sagittarius 12.58 Venus at 6 Sagittarius waning novile Saturn at 16 Capricorn 14.51 Venus at 6 Sagittarius waning semi-square Pluto at 21 Capricorn A Watery Grand Trine is manifest involving the Moon, her node and the Sun 21:00 today to 05:00 tomorrow. 21.44 The Moon at 11 Pisces trines the her node from south of the ecliptic.

https://earthsky.org

The (GMT) day starts in the midst of a Watery Grand Trine manifest in the sky, involving the Moon, her node and the Sun from 21:00 yesterday to 05:00 today. A good blending of emotion, will and fortune. Another deep, intense and emotionally motivated day with the combination of the Sun in Scorpio and the Moon in Pisces. Retrograde Mercury, now in his most difficult phase as he approaches Inferior Conjunction, makes minor aspects today to Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus, representing 'fine tunings' and reassessments of perceived changes ahead. To be in tune with the cosmos, understand that this is a time for taking stock, reviewing the situation and biding your time, not a time to push ahead with new ideas and plans. 00.49 Retro Mercury at 25 Scorpio waning semi-sextile Jupiter at 25 Sagittarius 03.01 Retro Mercury at 24 Scorpio waning septile Saturn at 16 Capricorn 04.20 Mars at 22 Libra waning biquintile Neptune at 16 Pisces 04.26 The very slowly waxing Moon at 14 Pisces trines The Sun at 14 Scorpio 07.19 The Moon at 16 Pisces waxing sextile Saturn at 16 Capricorn 07.38 The Moon conjunction Neptune at 16 Pisces 07.38 The Sun at 15 Scorpio waning novile Jupiter at 25 Sagittarius 08.34 The Moon is at apogee (conjunct Black Moon Lilith), slowest and furthest from the Earth all month. 08.48 Retro Mercury at 24 Scorpio waning quad-novile Uranus at 4 Taurus 17:25 The Sun reaches 15 degrees Scorpio. We are midway between the Libran Equinox and the Capricorn Solstice. In the southern hemisphere it is the start of early summer. In the north we commence the darkest three months of the year and with this, the season of 'fading'. Seasons they change. 17.33 The Moon at 21 Pisces waxing sextile Pluto at 21 Capricorn 20.41 The Moon at 22 Pisces waxing quincunx Mars at 22 Libra 21.32 Venus at 8 Sagittarius waxing semi-square Mars at 23 Libra 22.52 The Moon at 24 Pisces waxing trines retro-Mercury at 24 Scorpio

From today for 6 days we are in line for a series of astrological and astronomical hits. An eventful week is ahead of us. Firstly today Saturn is on the midpoint of the Sun trine Neptune, this is an planetary picture of great inspiration and reverence. Saturn is exactly sextile Neptune tomorrow, Saturday 9th, for the final time. Retrograde Mercury sextiles Pluto on Sunday Nov 10th, Mercury transits the Sun on Monday Nov 11th, Mars sextiles Jupiter on the day of the Full Moon on Tuesday Nov 12th. On Wednesday Nov 13th Saturn is exactly on the midpoint of (this time) retro-Mercury trine Neptune. On Thursday Nov 14th Venus squares Neptune. This cluster of aspects dictates a series of stimuli, largely of a personal nature, to which we have to respond. 01.13 The very slow but accelerating Moon at 25 Pisces squares Jupiter at 25 Sagittarius. The Moon is then void of course for just over 10.5 hours. 11.50 The Moon enters Aries A sharper impetus ensues. 12.38 Retro Mercury at 23 Scorpio waxing semi-sextile Mars at 23 Libra 13.31 The Moon reaches her waxing gibbous phase The procession to the Full Moon begins in earnest. 17.07 The Sun at 16 Scorpio waning sextile Saturn at 16 Capricorn 17.57 The Sun at 16 Scorpio waning trine Neptune at 16 Pisces

02.47 Saturn at 16 Capricorn waning sextile Neptune at 16 Pisces 2019 has been characterised by this waning sextile of Saturn and Neptune. (Jan 31st, June 18th and Nov 9th). Sea changes of faith, science and government were what I forecast at the start of the year because of this aspect. It reaches its conclusion today. Saturn is conjunct Neptune in February 2026 at one degree Aries. A fiercely competitive day is at hand. 06.16 The waxing gibbous Moon accelerating at 9 Aries waxing trine Venus at 9 Sagittarius 09.53 The Moon at 11 Aries squares her node from south of the ecliptic. 19.56 The Moon at 16 Aries waxing square Saturn at 16 Capricorn 22.10 The Moon at 17 Aries waxing quincunx The Sun at 17 Scorpio 23.21 Venus at 10 Sagittarius waning decile Saturn at 16 Capricorn 23.29 Venus at 10 Sagittarius waning biquintile Uranus at 4 Taurus Retrograde Mercury sextiles Pluto early tomorrow. Mercury transits the Sun on Monday. The Full Moon climaxes and Mars sextiles Jupiter on Tuesday Nov 12th. On Wednesday Saturn is exactly on the midpoint of retro-Mercury trine Neptune. On Thursday Nov 14th Venus squares Neptune. Lots of 'astrological ripples' are ahead of us.

00.44 Saturn at 16 Capricorn waning tri-decile Uranus at 4 Taurus The last of three. This is a minor aspect in the 44 year cycle of these two planets. The first was on Christmas day 2018, the second was June 30th 2019. The cycle symbolising 'spiritual strength', started in 1988 in Sagittarius, climaxed from 2008 to 2010 across Virgo Pisces, is at 'last quarter aspect' in 2021 from Aquarius to Taurus, and ends in 2032 in late Gemini. The waning tri-decile aspect prepares the way for the crisis of the last quarter phase in 2 years time. Lunar pressures are rising. 02.10 Retro-Mercury at 21 Scorpio waning sextile Pluto at 21 Capricorn 05.18 The slowly accelerating waxing gibbous Moon at 21 Aries waxing quincunx Mercury at 21 Scorpio A Cardinal T-square is manifest involving the Moon, Mars and Pluto 05:00 to 12:00. 05.38 The Moon at 21 Aries waxing square Pluto at 21 Capricorn 11.59 The Moon at 24 Aries opposition Mars at 24 Libra 14.01 The Moon at 25 Aries waxing trine Jupiter at 25 Sagittarius. The Moon is then void for 9 hours. 16.52 Venus at 11 Sagittarius waning novile Pluto at 21 Capricorn 23.20 The Moon enters Taurus. The transit of Mercury is tomorrow.

November 11th 2019 Transit of Mercury over the disc of the Sun. Transit starts 12:35 UT, mid transit 15:20 UT, transit ends 18:04 UT. This rare transit of Mercury across the face of the Sun is visible from the UK today. (Never look directly at the Sun without proper eye protection. You can seriously hurt your eyes and even go blind). Mercury starts to move across the face of the Sun just after 12:35 pm and continues throughout the afternoon, leaving the disc after sunset as seen from the UK. https://www.popastro.com/main_spa1/transit-of-mercury-2019/ The next one of these is on Nov 13th 2032, the last one was as recently as May 9th 2016. There is an Inferior conjunction of Mercury every 116 days on average, 3 times a year. This is the synodic period of Mercury relative to the earth. Each Inferior Conjunction is a 'solar impregnation of the universal mind', a 'new chapter in the story', a new 'seed idea', a 'new Mercury'. Like all conceptions the event is hidden at first, the outcomes are brought to awareness and consciousness later. There are 40 such inferior conjunctions of Mercury in between today's transit and the 2032 transit. A transit of Mercury is a solar eclipse of sorts. It increases the import of the conjunction. It can be imagined to be the start of a 'new volume', a large volume in today's case. The almost Full Moon is now accelerating in Taurus.
